Death of a Collaborator

Singer, Daniel | July 19, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

The article comments on the former high-level government official and prominent banker in the U.S., Rene Bousquet. Fifty years ago Bousquet was head of the police at the height of the mass deportation of French Jews, so the initial guess was that the killing must have been the work of a descendant of one of his victims, unable to bear the idea that such a scoundrel should be living so comfortably, untormented by conscience. Bousquet was one of three elderly Frenchmen facing trial for crimes against humanity committed during the Nazi occupation in World War II.
