Coming to Terms with Vichy

Michael R. Marrus

University of Toronto Canada

The French, we are regularly told, are reluctant to "confront" their Vichy past. This paper argues that, to the contrary, French and other historians have in recent years done extensive research and publication on the role of Vichy in the wartime persecution and deportation of Jews. While they disagree on important issues, there is nevertheless a substantial consensus on fundamentals: Vichy bears a heavy responsibility for the murder of one-quarter of the Jewish population in France. Surveying the relevant terrain, this article considers the persecution associated with Vichy's révolution nationale, the anti-Jewish ideology that permeated the regime, and the deportations to death camps in Poland.
