Title: Highest Court in France says that the French government assisted in... Post by: Koen on 17 February 2009, 22:59:33 the deportation of 76.000 Jews, only 2566 survived.

Post by: Alan65 on 17 February 2009, 23:14:17 I would highly recommend one of my favorite movies, a documentary called Le Chagrin et le pitie [the sorrow and the pity is it's name in the US]. Shows interviews in the '60s and '70s with everyone from Communists to Monarchists; all views are aired, some differences shown between friends and family; some 'confessions' about what was done during the occupation. A great film!
