Extrait du proces d'adolf eichman que l'on peut trouver a l'adresse suivante


The next document is our No. 1258. A report is sent to the
BdS about a number of appeals and declarations from French
clergymen protesting anti-Jewish activity. I do not intend
to read these to you except, perhaps, a few lines from the
first one, which is brief. It is an appeal by the Cardinals and Archbishops in the occupied zone to Marshal Petain:
"We cannot repress the cry of our conscience."

"Deeply moved by what is reported to us about the mass
arrests which took place during the last week and about the
harsh treatment inflicted on the Jews in the Veelodrome
d'Hiver, we cannot repress the outcry of our conscience. It
is in the name of humanity and of Christian principles that
we raise our voice in protest, in favour of inalienable
human rights. It is equally an anguished cry of pity for
the frightful suffering inflicted especially on mothers and
children. We ask you, Marshal, to see to it that the sense
of justice and the rights of charity be respected. The Jews
are human, they are our brothers. A Christian cannot forget
this."
