" I owe the truth to say that until 1941, I was seduced, with others - the propaganda was
massive - some aspects of Petainism. I probably have turned against the Republic of the feeling of having participated in its weakness, feeling the need to redo a strong France. This was the case until we have received no information, as have not been affected by the BBC that, with the Gaullist camp, we could hear from the winter 1941-194 2.

Few writers during this period opted for silence, following the example of Rene Char , to Andre Malraux or Michel Leiris s who in his diary mentions
" this true disease" men of letters "who can not conceive the opportunity to be quiet and that does not publish amounts to a kind of annihilation "
Jean Guéhenno meanwhile saddened that
" man of letters is not one of the largest human species. Unable to remain long concealed, he would sell his soul for his name appears . "
