Abstract:
Studies the reluctance of the press in northern France, in 1944-45, to distinguish racial deportees as a separate group among the 2.5 million repatriates returning to France at the end of the war. In keeping with the temporary government's policy of emphasizing unity, the newspapers initially treated all repatriates as POWs. When it became clear, in the process of repatriation, that deportees formed a group of their own, no differentiation was made between Jews and political prisoners. The papers favored articles about resistance fighters in order to highlight their own connection to the movement. Lack of reliable information from those parts of the Reich that had been liberated by the Soviets is mentioned as a third reason for indifference towards the fate of the Jews.
