Abstract:
Discusses the experiences of the French Jewish philosopher Vladimir Jankélévitch (1903-1985) in hiding in Toulouse during the Shoah. In 1940 he was dismissed from his position as a teacher at the University of Toulouse, in accordance with the law on the status of Jews. Emphasizes the assistance provided to him by the Institut Catholique of Toulouse, a refuge for Jewish students and intellectuals, and its philosemitic rector, Bruno de Solages. Jankélévitch continued teaching privately in local cafés and was invited to give lectures at the University of Lyon. He was active in Jewish and Catholic resistance networks and published anti-Vichy articles under the pseudonym "André Dumez". His contribution "Psycho-analyse de l'antisémitisme", which appeared in "Le mensonge raciste", a collection of essays published in 1944 with the Protestant geographer Daniel Faucher, and the Catholic philosopher Étienne Borne, objects to the antisemitic assumption of a common "Jewish spirit" as absurd and its consequences as monstrous, since, for the first time, people are being killed for what they are and not for what they do.
