Paul Amar has my account. He allowed me, thanks to its concise testimony of his trials, to discover the obvious lived in suffering by my Jewish brothers. I am a practicing Catholic. My maternal grandparents, my uncles and my mother educated me, accepted by the suffering, to love the other, starting with the one that differs in faith. The perennial presence of remembrance of the religious wars in Ardèche, shaped long this spirit of openness that I work on a daily basis in peacetime, to be worthy. My family, engaged in the Resistance, saved many Jews during the war. Risking his life and that of her children to save strangers is hard to admit honorary yet, alive.
Paul Amar thank you for making me finger on the open wound fueled by the stupidity of evil monsters at all levels that are anti-Semitic Dieudonne, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Tariq Ramadan, Alain Soral, Youssouf Fofana, the "barbarian" proclaimed who tortured for over 3 weeks and brutally put to death Ilan Halimi. Paul Amar thank you for your testimony against the collaborator Maurice Papon, responsible for the deportation of tens of Jewish children. Thank you to recall the horror of the crimes committed in cold blood by Mohamed Merah.
Thank you for helping me to share your suffering.
"Injuries" is a book that helps to understand the Other, the one who wants to live the secular Republic, in compliance with the humanistic values shared by all men of good will, the just.
Constantine, Algeria was in the French. Paul has 10 years when a grenade exploded wounding him. Paul attended in the same year to murder a dozen meters away, on the market square, Cheikh Raymond, musician in his orchestra work was Jews, Christians and Muslims. Racism, hatred of others: Paul experienced in his flesh and in his heart.
Approximations are forgiven (fascism of the French Action before the war, with his collaborator representing the writer Brassillach, forgetting the majority of royalists commitment in the Resistance, unable - I do not judge pas- distinguish man from his writings - I loved the writings of Drieu La Rochelle, while I hate the man collaboration, the mention of the war won by the Allies forgetting fighting France and victorious ...). Similarly his respect for BHL with known conceit.
Thank you for this salutary work.

NB: I salute the courage of Paul Amar demonstrating what I had analyzed Jean-Pierre Elkabbach Chabot.Je and Arlette had always understood them as SOLD power. Paul Amar brings us proof, hard, at the time when these "journalists" were active, ruthlessly for those who refused their orders for Balladur's candidacy for the presidency of the Republic.
