Abstract

A Deserter From Death
Singer, Daniel | June 20, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

At a time when neo-Fascist ministers are returning to government in Europe, when creeping revisionism is gaining ground, when items from Soviet archives are cleverly selected to blur the past and convince people that Communist and Nazi, resister and collaborator, victim and executioner were all the same, it is important both to say "No, it wasn't so," and to ponder the purpose of such manipulations. The reactions to D-day in Occupied Europe were, naturally enough, contrasting. At one extreme, among the resisters and the victims, the Allied invasion buoyed hopes and strengthened the conviction that, whatever cruel damage the enemy might still inflict, it was the beginning of the end.
