Marginalization and exclusion soon led to internment and deportation to terrifying places. Meanwhile, a propaganda war developed between the Resistance and the official voice of Vichy. Poznanski draws on a breathtaking array of sources, especially clandestine publications and French-language BBC transmissions, to show how the Resistance both fought and accommodated the deeply entrenched antisemitism within French society. Her close readings of propaganda texts against public opinions probe ambiguities and silences in Resistance writing about the persecution of the Jews and, in parallel, the numerous and detailed denunciations that could be read in the Jewish clandestine press. This extensive synthesis extends to the post-Liberation period, during which the ongoing persecution of Jews in Europe and North Africa would be portrayed as secondary to the suffering of the nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The winner of the 2009 Henri Hertz Prize by the Chancellerie des UniversitÉs de Paris, Sorbonne, \u003ci\u003ePropaganda and Persecution\u003c\/i\u003e makes major contributions to the study of the Resistance and of antisemitism.
