"'Les Bienveillantes' tells the story of an unrepentant Nazi SS officer who recounts his extermination of Jews in World War II.
I suppose this book's popularity didn't have to come as a big surprise, given the anti-semitism that prevails in France, Europe and elsewhere.

The only evil the Left still likes to fight are the Nazis. But only because the Soviets switched sides after they were attacked.

Or maybe it is a reaction by the French people to all the anti-semitism rampant in France by the effeminate elite and the Mullahs that burned down half their country.

"organigrammes..."
I must admit that I am unsure of what that means. The word is not in my Webster's, although I can draw a conclusion or two. Clues are welcome.

If an anti-Semite buys a book written by a Jewish author, does that make the buyer an anti-anti-Semite? How about me, I've read Mein Kampf?
