Archival History

Institut d’histoire du temps présent

Acquisition

These documents belonged to Raoul Cohen-Addad and were donated to the Institut d’histoire du temps présent (IHTP) in late 2007 by one of his daughters, Dr. Nicole Cohen-Addad. Dr. Cohen-Addad insisted that the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the CDJC and Yad Vashem be allowed to have copies.

Scope and Content

This collection comprises the records of Raoul Cohen-Addad (1916-2003), an Algerian-born Jew. Conscripted into the French army in 1939, he worked with the resistance to liberate Algeria in 1942. He was then deported to a forced labor camp under the Vichy regime. The collection includes personal and family papers, photos, documents pertaining to the judicial procedures Cohen-Addad instigated in an attempt to receive reparations for damage to his career, documents concerning the association of former North African resistance fighters from 1947-1949, the activities of the “Association of French Liberation of November 8, 1942” from 1943 to 2003, as well as documentation, press clippings, and various other materials dating from 1940 to 1944.
