⁸ A notice at Nanterre: ‘L’des É juifs de France Section Nantrre Une conférence sur le théme “culpabilité et é morie:ce que les français ne veulent savoir “’ and in the case of ‘’ affaire Touview’ which exploded in paris in late November 192. Touvier had been a jailer of the Milice, the French paramilitary body which faithfully served the regime of Marshal Petain. Complicit in the murder of seven French Jews and accused of crimes against humanity, after the war Touvier was sheltered by the Catholic Church for years until he finally gave himself up. In a trial in April 1992, he was exonerated. In November 1992 the verdict of exoneration was overturned. The case filled the pages of the French press. Le Monde editorialized about the Touvier case under the heading, ‘Les Crimes Oblié’, 29–30 Nov. 1992.
