HIST 466 - Vichy France and the Jews

This course explores France’s role in the destruction of European Jewry in World War II. Through primary and secondary sources, we investigate Germany’s occupation of France and French collaboration with and resistance to the Nazis in the Shoah. We also consider the turn-of-the-century roots and interwar spread of French fascism, as well as how selective remembrance and forgetfulness contributed to forging a postwar national identity.
