Document Summary
Europe in the shadow of its past 1: vichy. The history of world war two is politics in europe: to do with pain associated with deportations, concentration camps etc, everything seems to come back to 1939. There is another dynamic, coming to terms with the past. When countries deny their history, it doesn t seem to just go away, it keeps coming back. With little, resistance, vichy regime implemented germany s racial laws. Night of 16 july 1949, 9,000 police officers rounded up 13,000 jews-> 6,000 of these were sent to a deportation camp, drancy, outside paris. Two frances: france of vichy and occupied france. Vichy: until 1942, it was less than a sovereign state but more than a colony. Many people were convinced that june 22 was not a defeat but also a national. Revolution, hat france would transform itself and find a place in the new german. Today, petainist, is an insult of the gravest order.
