| Summary: | The English-language translation of the wartime diary of Raymond-Raoul Lambert (1894–1943) has been long awaited. This personal record of the prominent leader of the Union of French Jews in the Free Zone of the Vichy government is an invaluable contribution to the study of the particular situation of French Jewry during World War II. Its publication enhances the emerging area of Holocaust research that focuses on diaries as personal responses to the German occupation and its genocidal project. For students and scholars of the Holocaust who do not read French, the English-language publication of Lambert's diary is of utmost significance. |
