Description
France's experience of World War II was marked by occupation, collaboration, resistance, and persecution. Since the end of the war, France has struggled to understand and remember this period in its history. Olivier Wieviorka explores how the memory of the Occupation and Resistance has shaped French society's perception of the past. He examines how different administrations have responded to these memories, attempting to steer public opinion through them. These approaches have been varied, with some focusing on promoting a narrative of military victory or memorializing victims, while others sought to forget this painful period altogether. The result is that France remains divided by its memories of resistance and collaboration, with no single approach having successfully addressed the complexities of this experience.
