Dans « Le Savoir des victimes », l’historien retrace la lente constitution de la vérité sur la Shoah et, en France, sur le rôle de Vichy, à travers le parcours de quelques historiens tenaces.
The main conceptual idea of Laurent Joly's book, "Le Savoir des victimes," is exploring how the history of the collaboration of the Vichy regime in the genocide of Jews has been written and debated since 1945.
Joly focuses on the work of historians, particularly those within the CDJC (Centre de documentation juive contemporaine), who have gradually unveiled the extent of Vichy's complicity and faced controversies in doing so. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the evolving historical narrative surrounding this sensitive and complex topic.
