Gives a short survey of French antisemitism and French Jewry before 1939, emphasizing the rift between the immigrant and native Jewish communities. The outbreak of war brought unity but, with the fall of France, many native Jews hoped to fit into the new order (in both the north and the south) while immigrants were stripped of all protection. Describes German efforts to set up a central Jewish representative body, and competition with Vichy's Commissariat General aux Questions Juives for control of the Jews in both zones. Examines the debates on the formation of the UGIF (Union Generale des Israelites de France) which institutionalized the separation of Jews on a racial basis. Surveys the activities of the UGIF and their relations with the French authorities. Contends that their welfare activities, including the administration of the deportation center at Drancy, assisted the Germans in the destruction of French Jewry.

National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
