Origin and Right of French Anti-Semitism Jewish Genocide in France (1940-1944)

The study is devoted to French anti-Semitism from the time of its very emergence. It presents the main stages through which it passed, the factors that influenced its development until the late 19th century, when the definition "violent" anti-Semitism became justified and the period between the two world wars that could be characterized as a prelude to Vichy, the regime under which the Jews were subjected to genocide. It also presents the biblical and patristic grounds for its emergence and their use in later times by different churches and political forces, and in the "canonization" of anti-Semitism as one of the characteristics of the ideology of the National Revolution.
