Kurzfassung:
Discusses the life and activities of Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, who became active in the Action Française in 1934 and was elected to the Paris municipal council in 1935. He began his first antisemitic campaign at the time when Léon Blum came to power. Between 1936-38 he founded several antisemitic organizations, e.g. Rassemblement Antijuif, Union Française, and Vieilles Souches. He edited the journal "L'Antijuif", which lasted only a few months. In 1936 he contacted Nazi antisemites in Germany, who financed his journal "La France enchaînée", a continuation of "L'Antijuif". The Nazi aid allowed him to engage in serious antisemitic propaganda. The main theme of the journal was the myth of a Jewish international conspiracy and the main element of his ideology was the struggle against the Jews, whom he identified with republican ideas. Concludes that Darquier de Pellepoix's antisemitism had nothing in common with traditional French antisemitism, and was rather influenced by obsessive German racial antisemitism.
