| Summary: | Renée Poznanski's latest book offers a thorough and wide-ranging examination of the “Jewish Problem” in France from the perspective of the organized Resistance. The author focuses on clandestine publications and French-language BBC transmissions to evaluate the significance of words (and silences) as windows into politics and society during the war. Poznanski challenges the reductionist view that one was either antisemitic and therefore a collaborator, or philosemitic and a résistant. Instead, she offers a nuanced study of the ambiguities of résistants' stances and the limits of their actions in defense of Jews in France. |
