How three-quarters of French Jews survived the Holocaust, despite the Vichy regime
The CIC, which was the forerunner of the CIA was instrumental in protecting and helping war criminal Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon escape capture, and resettle him in South America. Barbie murdered men, women and children...44 children to be exact. The CIA lied to French authorities claiming they had no knowledge of his whereabouts, when they knew damn well where he was, because they'd put him and his family there. He was loose for many years until Serge and Beate Klarsfeld found him in Bolivia, and he was eventually extradited to France in 1983. Unfortunately by that time, the death penalty had been overturned in France, so the bastard ended up in prison until his death in 1991.
Most notably, Leon Blum, who was the socialist PM in France, before the war, survived.
In France before the war, they had a saying, “Better Hitler than Blum”.
You might note post 43. Other factors, the majority of Jews in France at the time were refugees from eastern Europe comprised around 3/4 of the deportees. And certainly the bravery of loyal French who protected and transported Jews to safety, logically concentrated on those they knew.
