Somehow today I managed to wander (what others call "surfing" I call "wandering") from Christopher Hitchens through fascism to Vichy France and French holocaust denial, which dovetailed nicely into the recent French best sellers that claim that the US government is behind 9/11. Your country is right next door to France, maybe you understand the French but I find them baffling. I've decided to roll up my sleeves and start reading French history, but fear I will have to go all the way back to Napoleon. For now, I will start with my favorite time period, 1920-1940. Robert Paxton testifying about Vichy France and collaboration with the Nazis - I can't read French so I don't know the context. matisson-consultants.com amgot.org Edit: I found the context, the trial of Maurice Papon, the only Vichy official to be prosecuted for the transportation of Jews.
