Anti-masonism, Freemasons and Resistance in the Toulouse region of southern France
The small publishing house of Cholet has just brought out a fascinating work by a group of historians focusing on three issues of the period: the persecution of the Freemasons by the Vichy régime in the Toulouse region of southern France, freemasons in the region involved in the Resistance and the reconstruction of their lodges after the war.


The Noé internment camp, 1941-1947 Eric Malo
A study of the Noé internment camp, near Toulouse, opened on February 7, 1941. The people detained there were mainly elderly couples and the disabled. With the Second World War roundups, they were joined by tuberculosis sufferers, Spanish refugees and Jews. The camp became a tool in the policy of collaboration with nazi Germany.


Automatically confined... The notebooks of Abraham Zoltobroda
In a historical paradox, French psychiatric hospitals —deathtraps under the Vichy regime— also gave shelter to victims of Nazi persecution. Abraham Zoltobroda was one such man. Arrested and interned in the Beaune-la-Rolande camp, this Polish Jew who sought refuge in France recounts, in children’s copy books, his unrelenting struggle for many long months to remain « in the madhouse » in Fleury-les-Aubrais.


Camps in France, Kuhn Gerhard, a deportee’s story. Guillaume Ribot.
This book analyses and offers scientific and rigorous insight into the workings of the internment system implemented in France in the period previously described. A part of this repressive system, up until now little explored, is closely examined through the story of one man: Gerhard Kuhn. This German Jew, expelled from Germany in 1940, survived 5 years of internment and deportation —two of which were on French soil— in different camps of the Vichy government: Gurs, Rivesaltes, the Group of foreign workers of Saint-Privat (133rd GTE), Fort Barraux, Vénissieux, Drancy. In the end, he was deported to Auschwitz, then Kaufering, then to Dachau where he was a kommando...


Propaganda and persecutions, the Resistance and the “Jewish problem” – Renée Pozynanski, Fayard, 2008.
Words spoken —and unspoken— in Resistance propaganda lead to the innermost workings of the collective imagination of Occupied France. In the war of words between the Free French—BBC programmes backed up by the underground press— and the official voice of Vichy, the stakes were winning over public opinion which had originally fervently supported Pétain. This book brings to light the discourse of the Resistance on the subject of persecution and deportation of the Jews.
