要約:This paper offers a study of American Jewish philanthropy in France after World War II according to the histoire croisée method. To what extent did Jewish American organizations and individuals influence the reconstruction of Jewish life in France after the Holocaust ? After describing what was later called a “Jewish Marshall Plan,” this article studies the role of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC or Joint) which was the most important American Jewish organization in France after the war. Narratives from one American woman, and from a European one will help us elucidate how individuals from each side of the Atlantic perceived each other during this encounter.
