Sarkozy caught on tape insulting a citizen! english version

-Leonnidik-
Yes of course, you have probably studied a lot french history to say that, so you must have right. But I'm still disagree with you ^^

Napo124- If you ever visit the greatest city in the world NEW YORK, go to the Holocaust Museum. There on the 2nd floor gallery is an inscription that says (followed by photographs) "Not all Parisiens (Jews) were beneficiaries of the "French Resistance".

I never went in "the greatest city in the world" (you would have travel a lot to say that) but I'm sure that you would learn more about france history in french museum. By the way, the holocaust museum refers to the arrest of thousands jews in Paris by the french police under Petain control who decided to help gestapo as much as possible. So, it was not the french resistance (who was not the french government (vichy)).

Napo124- According to what is posted, it clearly states the "Resistance" turned in the jews as means to gain favor with the gestapo. I'm sure the french textbooks have re-written it. Adieu!!!

My last post: french government wanted to gain favor with the gestapo by arrested thousand of jews (I'm agree with you). But I don't know where you read that, but french resistance NEVER help gestapo. Please learn more!
I can't let you say something like that... There was a lot of rench resistants who died for their opinions and it's really unfair that you say this today.
However, IF YOU ARE SURE THAT FRENCH RESISTANCE HELP GESTAPO, please give me a web link ;)

Wikipedia says jews made up about 1% of the general population in France, but about 15-20% of the resistance movement. It seems implausible to say the least that such an organization would help their enemy carry out the holocaust.

@Leonnidik: Apparently your source is confusing the resistance with the nazi-collaborating puppet government of Vichy. A quick visit to wikipedias article entitled "French resistance" might be a good idea.

I'm a Norwegian living in Paris. We were taught in school that Paris was indeed liberated by the French; at the request of general De Gaulle, the allies let the French go in front to have the honor of liberating their capital. We were also told collaboration with nazis was widespread in France - though one should not forget that antisemitism was rife in all of Europe at the time.

In general I'd say reading our own history as told by foreigners can only broaden our horizons. :)
