Abstract
In October 1950, a cinema club directed by Éric Rohmer created an uproar by programing the Nazi propaganda film, Le Juif Süss, in a cinema in the Latin Quarter (Paris). Was this a reflexive approach, led by a group of cinephiles ? A provocation of a small antisemitic group ? A simple publicity stunt ? Antiracist activists and resistant associations had no doubt : they immediately demanded the cancellation of the screening and greater awareness on the part of public officials about the “return of fascism.” The scandal of the Juif Süss reveals the plausible nature of antisemitism in the early 1950s, as well as the reactions produced by civil society and institutions. It creates the occasion to question the place of hate speech in the post-Shoah period, as well as the means used for combatting it.
