Rapport du Commissaire chef de la Police Spéciale Départementale, Constantine, 5 février 1942
Description
Grand Rabbi Jais and President of the Consistory André Bacouche requested a meeting with a member of the clergy to discuss the Jewish question. Monsignor Thienard, Bishop of Constantine would be the only one qualified to give the opinion of the clergy on this point. But it is Father Thon who would have been chosen for this interview. According to this report, there is a maneuver intended to seek support in the Catholic clergy, where the anti-racist “Christian democrat” tendency is still sensitive.
