Abstract
This essay discusses three diaries of the French Nazi occupation era. One offers moral reflection concerning the collaborationist state and the Nazi occupier. The second is by a student from an old French Jewish family who writes of, among other things, what it meant to have to wear the yellow star. The final diary spans just one month, starting from the arrest of the author's husband. He was about to be deported on the last train to leave Paris. These diaries show us a slice of life of the times, as they spur us to reflection on law and humanity.
