| WritingtheStoryofFrance (343 words) |
 | This literature belies the postwar interpretation by Charles de Gaulle that the French resisted the German occupiers. |
| It also contradicts the interpretation that French writers kept silent about the war years and were uncomfortable with the memory of what happened in France during the occupation or during the period of the liberation and the immediate postwar reconstruction. |
| The writers of these works of literature present a clear, sometimes brutally honest and often damning portrait of France and the French during their darkest hour. |
