François Bédarida, (14 March 1926 in Lyons – 16 September 2001 in Fontaine-le-Port) was a French academic historian. His work centred on Victorian England and France in WWII. He made significant research contributions to the study of The Holocaust. He was a director of the Maison française in Oxford among other leadership roles.[1]
Life
[edit]François Bédarida was born into a family of Catholic intellectuals. His father, Henri Bédarida, was a specialist in Italian studies and professor at the Sorbonne. François attended the Lycée Montaigne (Paris), the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and the Lycée Henri-IV where he was deemed a brilliant student.[2]
French Resistance
[edit]During the Occupation of France, his father gave sanctuary to the Catholic priest, Pierre Chaillet SJ.[3][4] The youthful Bédarida was actively involved in the French Resistance and joined the Christian Témoignage chrétien movement where he met his future wife, Renée Bédarida.[1]
Academic career
[edit]In 1946 he resumed his education and entered the École normale supérieure in Paris and in 1949 graduated in History after a brief stint teaching at the Lycée Thiers in Marseilles.[5] His doctoral thesis was on the Catholic population in London at the end of the 19th-century. François Bédarida then left for London to teach and carry out research at the French Institute during 1950-1956. In 1956 on his return to France, he became an associate of the CNRS (1956-1959). Then followed a period of five years as assistant professor in modern and contemporary history at the Sorbonne. In 1966 he was appointed head of the Maison Française in Oxford, whose first permanent home he launched and opened in the presence of French Culture Minister, André Malraux.[1] Between 1971 and 1978 he was master of conferences at the Institut d'etudes politiques de Paris. He became Director of research at the CNRS in 1979. He was a founder and first director of the Institut d'histoire du temps présent, from 1978 to 1990, and between 1990 and 2000 he held the post of General Secretary of the International Committee of Historical Sciences (ICHS/CIHS).[1]
Historian of Victorian England and France under Vichy
[edit]François Bédarida's first studies were into Victorian England. Notable among his work was a study of Will Thorne.[1] In the 1970s he changed tack and researched Vichy France and its antidemocratic political philosophy.[1] Beside the work of the American historian, Robert Paxton among a few others, he exposed the nature and ideology of the régime of Pétain. Prior to that, for thirty years the Vichy administration was seen merely as an adjunct of the Third Reich. He thereby locked into the two responsibilities of the historian in relation to that particular period, to perpetuate the role of the Resistance movement, and to establish scientifically the truth about events in order to avoid the creation of myths about that time. He collaborated with several authors in a number of publications on The Holocaust, notably with Jean-Pierre Azéma and his own wife, Renée Bédarida.[1]
