Until that day in 1978 when a weekly news magazine accused him of being the main organizer behind the infamous Vel’d’Hiv round-up, everyone seemed to have forgotten that in 1942, René Bousquet was the head of French police. And now the past had caught up this important civil servant who had brilliantly made himself over as a financier. This was the start of a fifteen-year period during which he would have to answer accusations. To organize his defense, he knew he could count on the support of his family and a network of political relations. Gradually, the compromises and “arrangements” made by virtually all the political forces at the Liberation would appear in all their ambiguity.
