This book is principally the story of a man who lived out
the greater part of his life in Western Europe in the latter half of
the twentieth century. Though alone for much of his life, he was
nonetheless occasionally in touch with other men. He lived through an
age that was miserable and troubled. The country into which he was born
was sliding slowly, ineluctably, into the ranks of the less developed
countries; often haunted by misery, the men of his generation lived out
their lonely, bitter lives. Feelings such as love, tenderness and human
fellowship had, for the most part, disappeared. The relationships
between his contemporaries are at best indifferent and more often cruel.

Where the situation of France’s Jews is concerned, a brief example
will help drive home the historical point. On May 10, 1990, in the
southern town of Carpentras, one of the country’s oldest Jewish
cemeteries was desecrated: more than 30 tombstones were uprooted, and
the body of a recently buried eighty-one-year-old man was exhumed and
displayed next to an umbrella. The contrast between 25 years ago and
today? As the SPCJ pointed out in its 2014 report, older citizens still
remember how the desecration of the Jewish cemetery in Carpentras
“brought the French people to the streets,” whereas in 2006, “after the
anti-Semitic murder of Ilan Halimi, and in 2012, after the attack
against the Jewish school in Toulouse, rallies were almost exclusively
composed of members of the Jewish community.” In January 2015, if Jews alone had been killed and not cartoonists,
Jews alone would have been marching in protest in the streets of France.
All French Jews understand this. As so often in history, anti-Semitism
in France today is a symptom of the degeneration of the social bond.
