Gad Freudenthal, « Résistance spirituelle à Lyon (1941-1944) : le Bureau des études juives », Revue d’Histoire de la Shoah, ID : 10670/1.a6df84
The ‘Bureau for Jewish Studies' set up in rue Vauban in Lyons in 1941 is a relatively little known example of the spiritual resistance under the Vichy Government. An informal grouping of intellectuals, publishers, senior civil servants, etc., it comprised mainly Jews but also non-Jews who had all been driven from their posts and who subsequently had become united through the furthering of their collective interest in the history of the Jews and Judaism. The members of this group found a means to preserve their dignity in a particular form and framework of intellectual exchange. The ‘Bureau for Jewish Studies' deserves the attention of all historians of the Shoah.
