“It is disturbing to know that while the Jews were being deported, the French were making love. But that is the truth.”
Most of the Jews deported to concentration camps by German occupation authorities and the Petain/Laval government were French.
Gosh! Really?/s Obviously most Jews living in a specific country were citizens thereof... Since the persecution was based on identifying them as a separate group it's also obvious that a distinction between the majority people and Jews is totally legitimate. If you need a full qualifier, let's rephrase it to “It is disturbing to know that while the Jews were being deported, the non-jewish French were making love. But that is the truth."
