Leaders Hail
Chirac's Speech
Paris (JTA) — Jewish leaders
here and abroad are hailing a
speech by French President
Jacques Chirac, who became the
first French leader to recognize
publicly the responsibility of the
French state in the deportation
of thous-ands of Jews to their
death during World War II.
French Nazi-hunter Serge
Klarsfeld described Mr. Chirac's
speech as a "historic statement"
that clearly separated Mr. Chirac
from his immediate predecessor,
Francois Mitterrand.
"This is what we always want-
ed to hear," Mr. Klarsfeld said of
the speech. "Chirac's predecessor
came twice to the commemora-
tion of the Vel d'Hiv roundups,
but he never spoke, and he al-
ways refused to recognize the re-
sponsibility of France in the
arrests and the deportations.
President Chirac just did that."
The speech also drew praise
from European Jewish Congress
President Jean Kahn, who said
Jews and everyone who fought
against the Nazis "must have
been delighted to hear these
words."
In Germany, Ignatz Bubis, the
chairman of the Central Council
of Jews in Germany, called on
other European leaders to follow
Mr. Chirac's example and ac-
knowledge their countries' col-
laboration with the Nazis.
The plaudits for the French
president followed a speech Mr.
Chirac made at ceremonies
marking the 53rd anniversary of
the first mass arrests of Jews in
Paris. The deportations were un-
dertaken by the Vichy collabora-
tionist government in power
dining the war. In his speech, Mr.
Chirac attacked "the spirit of ha-
tred"
that not only marked the Nazi
era, but could be found in pre-
sent-day France in the form of the
extreme right-wing National
Front, headed by Jean-Marie Le
Pen.
