Raymond-Raoul Lambert's Diary has been among the most important untranslated records of the experience of French Jews in the Holocaust. Lambert, a leader of the Union of French Jews (UGIF), was, in the words of the historian Michael Marrus, "arguably the most important Jewish official in contact with the Vichy government and the Germans." Lambert's Diary survived the war and was published in France in 1985. It reveals Lambert's efforts to save the Jews in France, particularly the children.
Raymond-Raoul Lambert, a French army officer in World War II, headed the UGIF under the German occupation. Richard Cohen, an historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is the author of The Burden of Conscience: French Jewish Leadership During the Holocaust. He lives in Jerusalem.
