In the 1930s and 1940s Anti Semitism was wide spread in Germany under the Nazi Government. The treatment of Jews in Germany during this time was extremely brutal and harrowing.

in World War II is one that has become the discussion of much modern debate. France was, ostensibly, an enemy of Germany for the early part of World War II, and, as such, stood in opposition to Germany's Nazi regime, resisted Nazi occupation, and had a very active resistance to the Nazis.
