The return of a redirected past in the French television series in the 2000sThis article proposes to discuss and put into perspective two television series, La Resistance (2008) and Apocalypse. La 2e Guerre mondiale (2009) that are both representative of the horizon of present memory on World War II. They are both saturated with the destruction of European Jews, and new in terms of unprecedented cinematic and narrative trends. Both programs devote a significant place, if not central to the fate of Jews in Hitler’s Europe, while their main goal is to respectively touch on the many facets of the French Resistance and military aspects of war. Via an analysis of film language and narrative conveyed by these two programs, where the destruction of European Jews appears where we least expect it, the goal is to detect the movement of look and feel focused on this historical episode.
