| Résumé: | In spite of the last sequestrations at the end of 1943 and in the beginning of 1944 of the Jewish communities in Bordeaux, the directors of the General Union of French Israelis (UGIF), who had come from Paris, tried to resuscitate a regional delegation. The last president of UGIF, Georges Edinger, henceforth forced to obey the oral instructions of the Sicherheitsdienst, the SS intelligence service, refused to go underground along with his managers and employees. In spite of the numerous roundups that dismantled Ugif’s regional delegations for more than a year, Edinger kept defending a legalistic attitude that ignored the genocidal evidence. He blamed first the Resistance and then the flight of the chief rabbi for the arrests of Jewish families, and obstinately insisted that UGIF and its network of havens --already spotted by the Germans-- as the only refuge for the starving and hounded Jewish population. |
