Robert Badinter, former Keeper of the Seals, minister and senator, died on February 9, at the age of 95. A look back at one of his most emblematic speeches, delivered during the 50th anniversary of the Vel d'Hiv roundup in 1992.
“I am not asking for anything, no applause. I only ask for the silence that the dead call for. And to assert, with all his authority: “Shut up!”. “Leave this place of contemplation immediately. You dishonor the cause that you believe you are serving,” says Badinter.
