Once again, Paul shines a hard, necessary light on Zionism—not as an abstract ideology, but as a lived historical machinery with blood on its hands. What makes this essay so unsettling is not polemic, but documentation: names, institutions, archives, and testimonies that the official memory industry works tirelessly to keep out of view.
This isn’t “denial.” It’s the opposite—refusing selective amnesia. When states criminalize comparison and outlaw inquiry, it’s usually because the record is already damning. Rajsfus did the work decades ago; you’re reminding us why it still matters.
History doesn’t become sacred by decree. It becomes dangerous when it’s fenced off.
The paradox of paradox being that if "Holocaust denial" is true, it tends to exonerate UGIF from the worst possible accusation.
If deportation in Poland was merely temporary resettlement of Eastern Jewish migrants, then the UGIF policy aiming (and succeeding in a large part) at sparing the French established Jewish population was – if far from morally perfect – at least understandable...
Yes, that is a strange thought that struck me too. I don't imagine, though, that we will see contemporary Zionists promoting "Holocaust denial" in order to clear the names of their predecessors who were involved in the wartime collaboration...
“The reason why the Yadan Law is being pushed through in France today is undoubtedly because there really are strong links between Nazism and Zionism that are highly inconvenient for the official narrative.” — No doubt!
BTW, those pneumatic delivery tubes look like something out of Brazil (the movie).
When I was a boy, a local department store used a similar system to send purchase notes to the accounts department on the top floor along with the cash, and receive the receipts back several minutes later.
No surprise to discover French bankers involved in orchestrating the deportations.
The very same people: Bank Worms, Lazard-Freres, Rothschild et al had engineered France's rapid capitulation and the installation of the Vichy regime in 1940 in the first place:
Paul, is there an English translation of Des Juifs dans la Collaboration: L'Ugif (1941-1944) by Maurice Rajsfus?
Having read The Gun and The Olive Branch by David Hirst, your writings seem to me to be some of the best examples of 'joining the dots' that I encounter in any of the wide ranging fields that I study.
Paul your remarkable research has filled in the gaps in my information about France and it's collaboration during the second World War. I lived there for many years and only now fully understand what occurred then.
This is another of Mr. Cudenec's masterpieces. I cannot imagine how one person has the time or the energy to research this subject in such depth, much less to produce such content on a weekly basis. How much more does it take to have the audacity to publish these things? Things that fly square in the face of the historic narrative. Thank you Sir!
Did I miss the caption to the photograph of the people in the street under the eye of a French police officer? The folk don't appear to wear Stars of David, or to have any possessions with them beyond a shopping bag. Can you fill us in on what this photo depicts, please? Thanks.
I was struck by a recent presentation by the Jewish scholar Norman Finkelstein, commenting on an interview he had had from a certain Candace Owens. I'd actually watched that interview for fifteen minutes before deciding it was going nowhere; I didn't know that Ms Owens is situated on the right wing of politics in America. Perhaps that was why it wasn't so interesting for me.
Prof. Finkelstein says in his presentation that Ms Owens is something of a Holocaust denier, asserting to him that many putative Holocaust survivors are "fakes". He readily admits this. He says many Jews in the post-war period were only too keen to portray themselves as "Holocaust survivors" (he adds that "from Auschwitz" was the favoured claim). But, he says, most of these are false claims.
The reason, he says, is not that there wasn't a Holocaust, however, but rather that what it was intended to do, it did very well. True Holocaust survivors were rare simply because there were so very few of them.
When Bruce Ismay was accused for having slipped into a lifeboat as his ship Titanic was foundering, Lord Mersey swept aside the inculpations by stating that, had Ismay stayed aboard the vessel, he would simply have added one more life to the nearly 2,000 lost.
What distinguishes Ismay was the fact, if I can draw this parallel, that he occupied an empty seat in the boat. But he didn't thereby procure the deaths of the other passengers. Not thereby, at least. So that, my nagging thought that the elite Jews of Paris "had no choice but to cooperate to avoid adding their own lives to the death toll" would seem to be much more a mark of my generosity than theirs.
The photo in question supposedly showed a police raid on a Jewish area, but you're right about the lack of stars. I have now replaced it with another one - with stars but no police. Thanks for pointing that out.
Not sure why the absence of yellow star makes the original photo less relevant. At least it shows a French police officer. Most probably from "rafle du billet vert" in May 1941, that is before the yellow star was imposed:
In fact not really a "rafle" as the unfortunate Eastern Jews were not victims of a clamp down but responding to a summons.
Just last week, French zionist Arno Klarsfeld (yes, son of Jewish "nazi hunter" Serge Klarsfeld and an Austrian daughter of a nazi) called for "rafles" of migrants – now mostly Muslims – on orders to leave the territory.
All true and correct. But why did the Rothschild and other members of the Jewish financial elite wanted to build a Jewish state in the heart of the Islamic world at all costs? Perhaps they didn't know that this would have guaranteed centuries of bloody, destructive, costly wars, vicious hatred and desire for revenge? I assume they knew this perfectly well. But if you don't constantly create wars, conflicts, hatred, and destruction, how could the 0.1% of humanity rule, exploit, and enslave the remaining 99.9%?
I have myself argued, somewhat pragmatically rather than emotionally, that, by rights, Israel should have been established in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. I've written an article on why (https://endlesschain.substack.com/p/germany-is-vocal-in-supporting-a - "Germany is vocal in supporting a Jewish homeland on another state’s territory").
But of course, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is not, so far as I'm aware, mentioned in the Old Testament. That will have been the emotional argument that won the day.
No one has yet (and will never) produce an order signed by the Führer TO KILL ANYONE.
“He had orders for euthanasia, he had orders for just about everything that he was doing, it would've been very important to him, if that was the case, to post it everywhere that the jews are to be exterminated…”

Yes, to do that would tie up a single loose end whilst unravelling the entire fabric.
Yet more important joining of dots … thanks!

Yes, I thought of "Brazil" as well - that was partly why I included the photo! One of my favourite films.

Poignant review of a difficult era. The Rothschilds strike again.
Most instructive, thank you.
