About the book
In the immediate decades after World War II, the French National Railways (SNCF) was celebrated for its acts of wartime heroism. However, recent debates and litigation have revealed the ways the SNCF worked as an accomplice to the Third Reich and was actively complicit in the deportation of 75,000 Jews and other civilians to death camps. Sarah Federman delves into the interconnected roles—perpetrator, victim, and hero—the company took on during the harrowing years of the Holocaust.
This event is sponsored by the Hoffberger Center, the School of Public and International Affairs, the B.A. in Philosophy, Law, and Ethics program, and the Institute for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at The George Washington University.
