Jean-Pierre Azéma
Jean-Pierre Azéma (born 1937) is a French historian.
Azéma is a member of the scientific counsel for the Institut François Mitterrand, an organisation founded by François Mitterrand with the goal of "contributing to the propagation of knowledge on the political and social history of modern France". He supported Ségolène Royal for the presidency.[1]
Azéma is the author of several prominent historical works, which make him somewhat an authority amongst France's historians.
A specialist of World War II, more specifically of the Vichy Regime and the French Resistance, Azéma is a university lecturer and teaches history at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris.[2] He was also one of the historians called as witness for the trial of Maurice Papon, (alongside Marc-Olivier Baruch, Robert O. Paxton and Philippe Burrin). He was also one of the authors of the film The Eye of Vichy (L’Œil de Vichy) by Claude Chabrol.[3] He attended the Conférence organiséd on the 60th anniversary of the death of Jean Moulin.[4]
He is the father of the Vichy historian Arianne Azéma.
