The Vichy government was under occupation and carried out the orders of the German occupier.

If you take a book of a thousand pages on the Second World War, in which 50 million people died, the concentration camps occupy two pages and the gas chambers ten or 15 lines, and that's what one calls a detail.

I'm always suspicious of people who repent of other people's sins.

By analogy, if we were to develop a soccer team, then we would not invite basketball and volleyball players to the try outs. We would invite soccer players to apply.

France was an occupied country, a country that surrendered and was left without the right to choose.

Political rivals attacked me. I was savagely beaten. I was kicked in the face and I lost my eye as a result.

I'm not saying that the gas chambers didn't exist. I couldn't see them myself.

After all, you're not exactly a nation like all the other nations. You are unique, if only because you are such an ancient people, and because of the way you are spread all over the world and your obvious success in many fields.

When Joan D' Arc was asked by her judges why as a Christian she did not love the British, she answered that she did love them, but she loved British in their country. In the same way, we do not hate the Turks, we love them, but in their country.

In recent years - before the intifada - there were three or four incidents of anti-Semitism a year, and that's out of 18 million crimes and violations of the law.

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.
