Abstract:
Traces the history of legislation to Aryanize Jewish property in France, from 1940 to 1944. Ernest, Maurice, and Andre Blin, Jewish owners of a textile factory in Elbeuf, decided to transfer ownership to a non-Jew. Charles Bedaux, an associate, took over management of the company until the return of the Blin brothers in 1944. Justifies the company's cooperation with the Germans as a measure to save the company from bankruptcy. Studies the question of the employees' support for the Resistance, although they did not actively join. The Blin brothers and their families survived the war in hiding, aided by friends, in the Correze region. After the war, their company's ownership reverted back to them, as agreed. Argues that the dichotomy collaboration/resistance, the model referred to by many historians, was not applicable to the case of Blin et Blin.
