  • Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France

    Michaël R Marrus, Richard H WeisbergBOOKVichy Law and the Holocaust in…2013

    The involvement of Vichy France with Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish policy has long been a source of debate and contention. At a time when France, after decades of denial, has finally acknowledged responsibility for its role in the deportation and murder of 75,000 Jews from France during the Holocaust, Richard H. Weisberg here provides us with a comprehensive and devastating account of the French legal system's complicity with its German occupiers du…

  • Holocaust Bystanders and Humanitarian Intervention

    Michaël R MarrusARTICLEHolocaust Studies2007

    My point of departure is the oft-repeated assessment about international bystanders to the Holocaust: ‘the world did nothing’. I suggest that this abrupt dismissal evades explanation. To contribute to the latter, I propose a contextual theme for the assessment of liberal bystanders to the Holocaust that might deepen our understanding and perhaps relate it as well to present-day concerns about the terrible fate of some minorities in our own world.…

  • The Vatican and the Custody of Jewish Child Survivors after the Holocaust

    Michaël R MarrusARTICLEHolocaust and Genocide Studies2007Cited by: 1

    This article focuses on the interaction between Jewish leaders and the Vatican on a highly emotional issue: the post-Holocaust custody of Jewish children rescued by Catholic families or institutions—particularly those cases in which the children had been baptized during the war. The recent discovery of several new documents has occasioned intense controversy and polemics on the subject. Drawing upon hitherto unexamined Jewish sources, the author …

  • Official Apologies and the Quest for Historical Justice

    Michaël R MarrusARTICLEJournal of Human Rights2007Cited by: 22References: 6

    This article examines apologies that are offered on behalf of public bodies—nations, governments, or institutions—in response to historic wrongs. The context is the insufficiency of justice seeking in the world, and the unhealthy, sometimes long-moldering residue left behind by generations that have ignored great wrongs or failed to address them properly. Because of this insufficiency, the passage of time, and the inaccessibility of more conventi…

  • Hannah Arendt and the Dreyfus Affair

    Michaël R MarrusARTICLENew German Critique1995

    Professor Marrus takes Hannah Arendt seriously a sign. I remember this sentence, written some twenty-four years ago at the end of a review of my 1971 book The Politics of Assimilation, a study of French Jews during the Dreyfus period. The first part of the sentence was unquestionably true. I first read The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), with its important section on Dreyfus, in 1963, and I recall packing a heavily underlined copy (520 pages l…

    Dans son remarquable essai sur la vision de l'histoire de Tolstoï, Isaiah Berlin distingue le hérisson du renard, distinction qu'il emprunte à un fragment de poésie grecque : ' Le renard sait beaucoup de choses, le hérisson n'en sait qu'une seule mais grande '. Pour Isaiah Berlin, ces mots résument deux modes fondamentaux et parfaitement distincts d'intelligibilité

  • Antisemitism in the 1990s

    Lord Beloff, Wolfgang Benz et al.ARTICLEPatterns of Prejudice1991Cited by: 2References: 1

    We recently addressed the following statement and questions on the strength and nature of anti-Semitism in the 1990s to a number of Jews and non-Jews throughout the world: Talk of a ‘revival’ or ‘resurgence’ of anti-Semitism is now commonplace. This seems to be the result of developments in the former USSR and in Eastern and Central Europe since 1989, but also of increasing reports of anti-Semitic incidents taking place throughout Western Europe …
