Description

The report deals with the reaction of the local population to the latest news of the war, after the 1940 armistice.

It shows the opinion of different ethnic groups: French, Arab Muslims, Jews, foreigners.

Here is raised the question about the reactions to the Vichy anti-Jewish legislation:

The French are satisfied of it except the Communists and Socialists.
There is almost no reaction among the Jews. Some wealthy shopkeeper blame Blum’s policy of being responsible for the hardening of the law toward the Jews.
Muslim Arabs are happy with the measures that place Jews below them on a civil and political way.
