AB - The crimes against humanity trial of René Bousquet, a former Vichy police chief, ended in failure because he had been murdered in June 1993. Its failure frustrated the trial of the Vichy regime, which put anti-Jewish politics of the Vichy government and its involvement with the holocaust by Nazy Germany on trial. The trial of Bousquet in 1949 was too lenient. When he was tried, there was an increasing tendency for the French to repress the memories of their anti- Semitism and the Vichy’s role in the “Final Solution.” The period was also characterized by their alternative recognition of what happened during the German occupation only through the prism of anti-national activities versus the Resistance, and their preference of forgetting, forgiving and conciliation over remembrance and condemnation. Besides, both facts of belated trial and so lenient a sentence for Bousquet in 1949, and unwillingness of the French judiciary to bring him to a new trial in the early 1990s clearly revealed how he was protected by those in power, including President Mitterrand in the latter case.
