Abstract:
Surveys the evolution of the memory of the Holocaust in France from 1945 up to now. In the first years after the war, there were commemorations for the anti-fascist fighters, but not for the Jewish victims. Even the Jewish community did not give prominence to its fate during the war because of the need to reintegrate into French society. Holocaust literature appeared in France in the 1950s-60s, and contributed to the raising of consciousness about the genocide. Deals with commemorations of the Holocaust in the 1990s, and asserts that they help young French secular Jews born after the war to maintain their Jewish identity.
Note:
Another French version appeared in "Storia e memoria della deportazione", 1996.
