Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : On September 2, 1941, Paul Didier was the only judge to refuse to take the oath of loyalty required by Marshal Pétain. He was arrested, dismissed from his post, and interned in the Châteaubriant camp, before being placed under house arrest. His brave act, which had a great symbolic impact on the institutions, is just one example of the engagement and strength of character he showed throughout his career. However, contrary to a post-war version of events, Judge Didier’s public refusal to take the oath on that day was not part of a plan agreed with the handful of judges who were members of the Resistance and who took the oath in order to continue their clandestine fight.
