Debate in France around publishing anti-Semitic essays by famed novelist : Jewish community condemns publishing house’s plan

France’s Prime Minister Edouard Philippe came out in favor of the planned publication of anti-Semitic pamphlets written by French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Celine, despite fierce objections from the country’s Jewish community. Three racist 1930s texts by Celine "Trifles for a Massacre" ("Bagatelles pour un Massacre"), "School for Corpses" ("L'ecole des Cadavres") and "A Fine Mess" ("Les Beaux draps"), are set to appear in a volume titled ‘Polemical Writings’ by leading French publishing house Gallimard in May, sparking angry calls for the book to be banned.
