It is a real-life testimony that Franck Ferrand offers us today – perhaps the best way to immerse oneself “in the heart of history”. We are talking about the Vichy regime and Marshal Pétain. A document has just been published in Cherche-Midi: I served Pétain – subtitled: The last witness. This witness is Paul Racine, who is a centenarian and whom we went to meet at his home in the Parisian district of l’Etoile. A testimony that we will comment on in the company of Arnaud Benedetti, associate professor at the Sorbonne, who conducted the interviews at the origin of the book.
