Déposition
Léon WERTH
During World War II, while Léon Werth was in hiding, he wrote a poignant journal depicting the life of the French population under occupation. As a writer, journalist and an essayist, he became a great observer of history in the making and of customs and society. He was a sometimes sarcastic critic, a visionary, a humanist; impertinent, nonconformist, antimilitarist, independent, and not much of a talker... Léon Werth was a fundamental witness of the first half of the 20th century: this journal has been highly praised by major historians from Lucien Fevre and Jean-Pierre Azéma to Robert Owen Paxton.
