Dear Mister Rosenbaum

I've read your text with attention and i will make the following remarks :

1) France in state of "pre-civil war" before 1940, remembers the days of 1934 and 1936. The 1940's disaster had litterally destroy France, allowing french extremist (ultra-pacisfist, reactionnaire and anti-semistic) to take the power
2) French "Resistance was a reality, but for forty million fi French, they had 5% resistants, 2% "collaborateurs ans 93% of people who tried to survive, protected their family. You can call them "cowards" if you want, but like the father of my wife, they knew the identity of resistants and they aren't ever speak of them to German or "Vychiste"
3) I've spoke with an old lady who have seen the deportation train. One day, she's tryed to give water and food. A german's guard tell her "Do you want rejoinning them". She had young children. She's go away.
4) If Sarkozy want we become like american, he make a big mistake. We aren't american and we don't want become american. We are French, proud to be French, even our country isn't perfect or making faults or crims. We'll rather staying French and try to make our country best with our ideals and meaning. It's not a crime to be american, cuban, italian, german our danish, so let us ti be French
5)Holocaust is teaching in France, like WWII and Vichy. If we follow Sarkozy's idea, we must do the same thing for the slavery, for the children death in Indochina, in Algeria and in too many places.
6)Our President is an autocratic man, vulgar, "reactionnaire", who increase his wages of 200% then wages are block in France since many years. Maybe he lose the power before 2012 in reason of this impopularity. Many reactions on the commemoration of Holocaust by child must be look not like antisemitism or denied of history, but like a reaction towards the president's autocraty.

Thank you, and please, excuse my bad english, sir!
