This Blog attempts to be another contribution to the fight for the cause of Human Rights

Back on the road again...
After a long time of silence (too many personal changes...) I'll try to reactivate this Blog. An interesting Colloquium on "Archives of Dictatorships" held at the new building of the French National Archives at Pierrefite-sur-Seine will provide the perfect excuse. Stay tuned!
