“From Capitulation to Betrayal” – Contribution to History.
A rare publication by the “Socialist Action Committee” in France, accusing the Jews of internal subversion against France and its fall into the hands of Nazi Germany. Belgium, May 1941.

Through the major press, almost entirely under their payroll, they manipulate public opinion…”. It further claims: “They then developed an enormous plan to disrupt the nation’s economic life; to organize civil war, weaken the morale of the state, and ensure Hitler’s hegemony over Europe…”. The author directly accuses the Jews of breaking France’s spirit and will to resist Hitler’s expansion: “This was the work of a certain press and certain individuals. Every time Germany dared to act, we were persuaded to let it happen. We were lulled into sleep until we awoke—and it was already too late…”.
