re: #579 CuriousLurker

There’s a good book I read, Verdict On Vichy, about the period of the collaborationist Vichy Regime, that goes into the subject of French anti-Semitism and its long and ugly history; it helps the reader understand that the Vichy Regime’s actions against French Jews weren’t just some spontaneous 20th Century outburst of anti-Semitism, but that such toxic ideas had long been simmering under the surface.

Sad to read.
