The facts are just beginning to be known: Corsica was during the Second World War a refuge for Jews who managed to join. Not that there was any Vichy in Corsica at the time, but because the population, true to its values, not only denounce strongly disliked, but offered hospitality and hid fugitives in villages or maquis. The role of prefect and his deputies, as well as that of a Turkish consul, were also decisive in this rescue. Maurice PAPON disaster will take the seed, in the hell where we want it to roast slowly. Metropolitan French first released department, Corsica has not lost in collaboration, on the contrary. Serge Klarsfeld would agree that the Island of Beauty as a whole receives the title of Righteous, as a single Jew was arrested and deported during the war! In comparison, all other French departments, even the most rural, hundreds of Jews were arrested and deported. Conclusion: omerta, sometimes it is good. A nice documentary broadcast on France 5 in 2013, traces this magnificent epic. This comic, very touching, recreates the atmosphere of the time and reads with pleasure and emotion. Congratulations to the authors.
