En 1981, dans la premiere edition de ce livre, les deux historiens americains revelaient que la politique antisemite menee en France des l ete 1940 etait due au seul gouvernement de Vichy, sans pressions allemandes. A l epoque, la question de la responsabilite du regime de Vichy n etait deja plus completement refoulee mais le sujet etait traite en marge et l acces aux archives francaises et allemandes extremement laborieux.Beaucoup de choses ont change depuis. Les archives se sont ouvertes, notamment grace a la loi du 15 juillet 2008, autorisant aux chercheurs l acces a des dossiers ultra-confidentiels. Vichy est passe au centre des interets des historiens. Autres evenements majeurs de ces dernieres decennies: le gouvernement francais a reconnu le role de l Etat francais dans la deportation des Juifs; l Eglise de France a fait acte de repentance pour son silence initial; des citoyens francais ont ete accuses, juges, et punis pour crimes contre l humanite, ou pour complicite de crimes contre l humanite.Les auteurs ont donc trouve une matiere abondante pour enrichir et approfondir leur argument de base. Ainsi, l idee qui se repand actuellement que la survie de 75% des Juifs de France est un resultat louable, et que ce resultat heureux est en partie attribuable a Vichy qui aurait essaye des le debut d epargner les Juifs anciennement etablis en France, ne tient pas longtemps face a une analyse approfondie.Il est crucial de lire aujourd hui ce classique enrichi et mis a jour, et de s elever contre ceux qui se demandent pourquoi tant de Juifs ont survecu en France quand il faudrait plutot comprendre pourquoi tant ont peri."

With its combination of voices from both scholarship and leadership and its unique assessment of antisemitism in Canada and the struggle against it, Contemporary Antisemitism offers new perspectives on one of the world's most ancient and diffuse hatreds.

Canada and the World

Contemporary Antisemitism

This edition is the first of its kind to offer a basic collection of facsimile, English language, historical articles on all aspects of the extermination of the European Jews. A total of 300 articles from 84 journals and collections allows the reader to gain an overview of this field. The edition both provides access to the immense, rich array of scholarly articles published after 1960 on the history of the Holocaust and encourages critical assessment of conflicting interpretations of these horrifying events. The series traces Nazi persecution of Jews before the implementation of the "Final Solution", demonstrates how the Germans coordinated anti-Jewish activities in conquered territories, and sheds light on the victims in concentration camps, ending with the liberation of the concentration camp victims and articles on the trials of war criminals. The publications covered originate from the years 1950 to 1987. Included are authors such as Jakob Katz, Saul Friedländer, Eberhard Jäckel, Bruno Bettelheim and Herbert A. Strauss.

Perspectives on the Holocaust

Did Europe's Jews go passively to their deaths? How did Nazi anti-Semitism evolve into mass murder? How important was Hitler's own hatred of the Jews in creating the Final Solution? Why didn't the Allies aggressively try to save Jews before the war's end? Michael R. Marrus, in the first comprehensive assessment of the vast historical literature on the Holocaust, tackles explosive issues and tortured memories, handling them with judiciousness and sensitivity. Drawing on the entire range of historical literature on this subject, he comments upon the questions that have troubled observers over the years. By applying the tools of historical, sociological, and political analysis, he presents a balanced but eye-opening treatment of many highly charged topics on the Holocaust, including the role of collaborationist governments, the Roman Catholic Church, the local populations, Jewish ghetto leadership, and the Jews themselves.
