Au Pilori

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Au Pilori ("To the Pillory"), also known as Le Pilori ("The Pillory"), was an anti-Semitic newspaper published in Occupied France during World War II.

The paper first appeared as Le Pilori, before changing its name through an evolution of the editorial team. Funded by the Germans, it did not hesitate to campaign against specific individuals, against persons "suspected" of being Jewish, and against professions normally practiced by Jews, for instance dermatologists. Editors of the paper included , Urbain Gohier, , Paul Vigouroux and Paul Riche.

Throughout the war it was published from 43 rue Monceau, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.

The newspaper should not be confused with the similar Swiss right-wing publication of the same name, created by Georges Oltramare.
