| Riassunto: | French Jews against Torture in AlgeriaEven as French Jewish organizations asserted neutrality in the Algerian War, a handful unaffiliated Jewish intellectuals risked their lives to oppose torture. Nearly all of the anti-torture advocates were stationed in Paris, although they all travelled to Algeria as activists. Jewish intellectuals stood at the helm of the most important cases against torture, and they were instrumental in publicizing the horrific acts of violence committed by the French state. This article covers the motivations of Gisèle Halimi, Pierre Vidal-Naquet and Laurent Schwartz, who were all activists against the military’s use of torture on Algerian suspects. |
