History

In the spring of 1940 the Communists created Mouvement National Contre le Racisme, though officially non-partisan, was in fact under the absolute control of the Jewish section of the Main d'Oeuvre Immigrée. It started two papers, J'accuse (in the occupied zones) and Fraternité (in the southern zone). Through them the 'French people' expressed their solidarity with the persecuted Jews.
