"RenEe Poznanski is one of the finest scholars of our time on the subject of France during the Holocaust and World War II. Her central question here-How much did the French Resistance care about Jews and antisemitism?-is timely, and she presents a mountain of evidence to support her thesis."-Ethan Katz, University of California, Berkeley "This book adds to our understanding of the Resistance, the persecution of the Jews, and the clandestine press in ways likely to make it a fundamental work for future scholarship."-Holocaust and Genocide Studies
