- Summary
- Surveys the mass purges of French collaborators at the end of World War II, based on the records of the Free French forces, the courts, and other archives. The purges by the Resistance began even before the liberation and included collaborators at all levels. Members of the fascist Milice and Vichy's Commissariat General aux Questions Juives were charged with national disgrace. Many defendants were accused of denouncing and hunting down Jews. However, some collaborators who played an important role in the roundup and deportation of the French Jews remained immune until the recent activities of Serge Klarsfeld, but none of these have as yet been seriously punished.
