Gilles-William Goldnadel: Robert Badinter inspired in me brotherly admiration and brotherly recognition. The lawyer praises the courage and commitment of this man, despite their divergent visions of Justice.
Badinter was never extreme. Out of love for France, he never confused Vichy with it. He insisted on confusing hateful anti-Semitism with venomous far-left anti-Zionism. In reality, what fundamentally separates me from Badinter's judicial conception is the place of the victim and his murderer.
