Anti-Semitism In France: How The Post-Holocaust Era Informs French Attitudes Today, Alyssa Chesek
Anti-Semitism In France: How The Post-Holocaust Era Informs French Attitudes Today, Alyssa Chesek
Student Research Poster Presentations 2021
Following the end of the Holocaust, approximately 160,000 native Jews and 20,000 displaced Jews arrived in France. France, which operated under the Vichy government during World War II, was a Nazi puppet regime complicit in the persecution of its Jewish population. When Vichy fell in 1944, the recently instated Provisional Government of the French Republic became responsible for Jewish restitution and reintegration services. However, the new government refused to recognize a Jewish problem; this denial resulted in inadequate services and protections for the Jewish population. Without providing Jews with proper legal protections, the French government created an environment which may …
Invisible Armies: French Colonial Soldiers During World War I And Their Absence From History, Molly Anderson
Invisible Armies: French Colonial Soldiers During World War I And Their Absence From History, Molly Anderson
Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Showcase
World War I is an incredibly significant event in world history and continues to loom large in French memory today. Unfortunately, memory is often unreliable and as a result, people, places, and events can easily be forgotten, as is the case with French colonial soldiers during World War I. Colonial soldiers, particularly those from French West Africa, suffered a great deal because of their forced involvement in the conflict.

We Survived … At Last I Speak, Leon Malmed
We Survived … At Last I Speak, Leon Malmed
Zea E-Books Collection
This is Leon Malmed’s true story of his and his sister Rachel’s escape from the Holocaust in Occupied France. When their father and mother were arrested in 1942, their courageous and heroic French neighbors volunteered to watch their children until they returned. Leon’s parents were taken first to Drancy, then to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and they never returned. Meanwhile their downstairs neighbors, Henri and Suzanne Ribouleau, gave the children a home and family and sheltered them through subsequent roundups, threats, air raids, and the war’s privations. The courage, sympathy, and dedication of the Ribouleaus and others stand in strong contrast to the …
