Plaidoyer pour quelques Juifs obscurs victimes de monsieur Papon
Work detail
Plaidoyer pour quelques Juifs obscurs victimes de monsieur Papon is a legal advocacy work by Gérard Boulanger that focuses on the trial of Maurice Papon, a French official implicated in the deportation of Jews during World War II. The book examines the judicial proceedings against Papon, highlighting the experiences of lesser-known Jewish victims whose stories emerged during the litigation. Drawing on court documents and historical research, Boulanger argues for a fuller recognition of the crimes committed under the Vichy regime and the importance of accountability for war crimes. The text combines legal analysis with historical narrative, offering readers insight into how postwar France confronted its collaborationist past. It serves as both a record of a significant trial and a reflection on memory, justice, and the ongoing reckoning with Holocaust-era responsibility.
