Description
The article discusses the complex picture for French Jewish communities in the decade after the war and the mixed results of newly created institutions and procedures existing alongside more established organisations and policies. Also discussed are divisions within the Jewish community itself, the wider French post-war societal issues, and external challenges such as the creation of the state of Israel, and the rise of the Cold war.
