| Summary: | In France as elsewhere, memory of the Shoah, memory that went into eclipse after World War II, seems to be at the heart of discussion of that conflict today. The silence in France after the Liberation, while not unique, is hardly astonishing if one considers the reluctance of the Resistance press and the Free French in London to deal with the persecution of the Jews.1 Though the shift that began in the late 1970s is well known thanks to the work of Henry Rousso, there remain poorly understood sides of the transition, one episode of which is discussed in Samuel Moyn's study of the controversy that followed the 1966 publication of Jean-François Steiner's book on the revolt in Treblinka. |
