註釋A series of interviews with the former Chief Rabbi of France, Jacob Kaplan (1895-1994), on Judaism, French Jewry, and Jewish-Christian relations between 1900-77, conducted by Pierre Pierrard, president of the Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne de France. Pp. 61-123 deal with World War II. Kaplan, then a rabbi in Vichy, was active in opposing antisemitism and helping the persecuted. In 1941 he sent a protest letter to Xavier Vallat, the Vichy Commissioner for Jewish Questions, who was responsible for the anti-Jewish measures inflicted upon French Jews from 1940. Kaplan was expelled from Vichy, continued to act in Lyon, and was appointed provisional Chief Rabbi of France in 1944, executing his rabbinical duties clandestinely. He was arrested by the Gestapo in August 1944, but was released the same day after a long theological discussion and an offer of bribery. He subsequently fulfilled several public functions until his appointment as Chief Rabbi of France in 1955. The interview includes discussion of postwar Christian-Jewish dialogue, in which Kaplan was involved.
