ABSTRACT
Distinctions between accounts authored by Jewish and non-Jewish deportees have been drawn in the preceding chapters only in cases of marked specificity or difference, whether in relation to the texts themselves (for example, the late clustering of Jewishauthored publications), or to the construction of deportee identities (Jewish deportees’ representations of the moral integrity of the French were, for example, seen to differ from those of non-Jewish deportees). In many respects similarity outweighs difference, bearing out Wieviorka’s suggestion that francophone texts written by Jewish and non-Jewish deportees have much in common (Wieviorka 1994b: 30). There are, however, greater differences than Wieviorka suggests. Some ten years on, a more extensive corpus of Jewish-authored texts is available, including accounts by Abadi; Alcan (two texts); Asseo; Birnbaum; Christophe F.; Christophe M.; Crémieux; Davidovici; Elina; Fabius; Fénelon; Grand; Grinspan; Heftler; Hollander-Lafon; Holstein; Lagrange; Lévy-Osbert; Louria; Maous; Marmor; Ourisson; Picard; Schapira; Tichauer; Touboul.1
