Abstract:
Between 1927-33 the league of the Croix-de-Feu was a nationalistic, slightly xenophobic organization, sympathetic to French Jews. In 1933, it began to warn of the danger of the influx of Jews from Germany. In Alsace-Lorraine, and especially in Algeria, local Judeophobia, together with Nazi propaganda, made the league outspokenly antisemitic. Suppressed by Léon Blum and reincarnated as the Social French Party in 1936, the league and its leader, François de La Rocque, succumbed to the pressure of its provincial branches and became openly antisemitic, as reflected in its press. Between 1940-42, La Rocque published a mildly antisemitic journal, "Le Petit Journal", in the Vichy zone, before joining the French resistance movement.
