Background
After the war, Charles de Gaulle declared that "The Republic [had] never ceased to exist" and "Vichy was and is null and void." France was liberated by Allied troops in 1944. France's collaboration with Germans was whitewashed. This false narrative created the founding myth of post-Vichy France, and it closely intertwined with the question on how France should face the history to recognize its stake in the Holocaust and how this period should be oriented in French national memory.[1]: vii–x, 15–19
