		For Delisle the greatest sinner of the movement was also its greatest icon, the revered cleric and historian Lionel Groulx.
		Delisle catalogues at least 800 articles on the Jews - who made up about 1 per cent of Quebec's population - most of them anti-Semitic and almost all on the paper's front pages.
		While some historians may object to Delisle's approach - she used a salvo when a stiletto might be more effective, and she scarcely pays any attention to the permeating anti-Semitism in much of English Canada - there is no question that this is an important book.

		The Lonely Passion of Esther Delisle http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/antiholo/delisle.html When a Quebec author and historian chooses to tell a forbidden tale of fascism and anti-Semitism in her province, she pays a stiff penalty.
		After Delisle submitted her doctoral thesis at Laval in 1990, she had to wait two years to defend it, an unusually long time, and excruciating for Delisle, since by then she was practically penniless.
		Last march, L'actualité challenged Delisle in a cover story that was called "The Myth of a Fascist Quebec." The magazine downplayed the importance of fascism in the interwar years, and suggested that even though Groulx was an anti-Semite, he didn't deserve to be relegated to the trashcan of history.

		Producer Eric Scott said he chose Delisle as a film subject because she is funny and self-deprecating, the perfect counterpoint to the seriousness of the topic.
		Delisle had just turned 12 when her mother died of kidney disease, leaving her in the care of a father who was cold and remote.
		Facts are facts to Esther Delisle, and she doesn't understand why she can't talk about them, no matter how unpleasant.

		His message amounts to little more than accusations that Delisle's federalist politics have led her to misrepresent and slander Quebec nationalism.
		Quebec nationalists like Patrice Groulx would do better to admit that Delisle is essentially correct: one part (and I do emphasize "part") of the past of Quebec nationalism is indeed shameful (something nationalists generally persist in denying), and get on with the job of constructing an inclusive and liberal nationalism.

	The Lonely Passion of Esther Delisle - Anti-Semitism and Holocaust
		Auger may be right, but it does not explain why Esther Delisle has been shunned by her fellow francophone Quebecers.
		Last march, L'actualité; challenged Delisle in a cover story that was called "The Myth of a Fascist Quebec." The magazine downplayed the importance of fascism in the interwar years, and suggested that even though Groulx was an anti-Semite, he didn't deserve to be relegated to the trashcan of history.
		That editorial angered Delisle and because she does want to get a real job at a university, she figures it could mean leaving Quebec.

		He observed "with sadness" that Esther Delisle's controversial writings on historical anti-Semitism and right-wing extremism have "poisoned and politicized the atmosphere," he said.
		One man's strenuous objection to Delisle's April 22 lecture sponsored by the JPL, and the promotion of that event in a JPL newsletter distributed at the conference, illustrated just how sensitive relations between the Jews and French Quebecers remain.
		Referring to Delisle's latest book, Myths, Memories & Lies: Quebec's Intelligentsia and the Fascist Temptation, 1939-1960, the newsletter says, "The young sovereignists of the 1960s have attempted to hide this recent past and deny their involvement with these movements, but these very people are the architects of Quebec's 'official memories,' or, perhaps, its 'official silence'."

		However, Scott acknowledges that this is a "point of view" documentary, starting from the premise that, while fascism had its individual adherents in the rest of North America during this period, anti-Semitism had the "open support of the major French-Canadian institutions" in Quebec.
		Specifically, Delisle examined the records of Le Devoir, the influential daily newspaper; l'Action nationale, the leading nationalist monthly; Jeune Canada, a prominent nationalist youth organization; and the speeches and writings of historian/priest Lionel Groulx, still an icon to many of today's nationalists.
		Delisle herself is prominently featured, asserting that Quebecers would prefer to ignore this part of their past and anyone who breaks that silence will, like she has, find themselves ostracized.

	Is there anti-Semitism in the sovereignty movement? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		According to Dr. Esther Delisle, recent events in Quebec politics are reminiscent of early 20th century fascist tendencies.
		In her book, The Traitor and the Jew, Delisle describes the climate in Quebec during the early separatist days, when the term pure laine, which literally means "pure wool," was first coined.
		Delisle, however, maintains the age-old argument that the Jews tend to be easy scapegoats in times of political uncertainty.

	The Canadian National Newspaper: Bloc Quebecois borrows Nazi techniques
		Delisle has continued to be marginalized from employment opportunities in Quebec, by that province's apparent reactionary political Establishment.
		These elites have consolidated their power with the use of a similarly racist prism held by owners of Quebec media organizations that Esther Delisle had revealed, and in a milieu of "fluff" journalism owned by the political apologists of an overall Canadian racism, presented by mass-media organizations in other parts of Canada.
		It is vital that supporters of a vision of Canada as a socially progressive and multi-cultural society (that former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau championed), challenge the attempts by Quebec elites to emulate apparent Nazi techniques, in pursuit of a creation political entity with an apparent racist political agenda.

		Similarly, Esther Delisle, the fl sheep of the Québécois family, has alleged that family is still shadowed by the "crazy aunt" of anti-Semitism-albeit in a milder form than before.
		Delisle was "financed and supported by the World Zionist Organization." The slander went unchallenged.

		Esther Delisle is a French-Canadian historian whose doctoral dissertation was a study of the anti-Semitic and pro-Fascist elements in Quebecois Catholic society.
		Reviewing the output of Le Devoir, the newspaper of the Society of St. Jean Baptiste, the leading conservative Catholic fellowship in the province, she found a consistent pattern of vicious Jew-baiting, profound admiration for Petain, Mussolini and Hitler, all of it emanating from of the most revered figures in Quebec nationalism.
		Needless to say, she became an embattled figure and Eric Scott tells her story in swift, deft brushstrokes, aided in no small measure by Delisle’s own presence and wit.

		If the trials and tribulations of a local filmmaker are any indication, then Esther Delisle--the woman who became a social and intellectual pariah for documenting anti-Semitism in Quebec's nationalist movement--may still be a taboo subject in Quebec's nationalist circles.
		>> Eric Scott pitched a documentary on Delisle, using her doctoral-thesis-cum-first-book The Traitor and the Jew as a point of inspiration, to TV stations and film-funding bodies across the province.
		In 1995 he landed some seed money for the film, titled Je me souviens, from Telefilm and Société de développement des enterprises culturelles du Québec.

	Le blog de Polyscopique: We're all Catholics now
		Quebec historian, Esther Delisle, writes that the anti-statist interpretation of the conscription crisis of WWII is a myth.
		While Esther Delisle has done a good job of documenting the fascist sympathies that existed in some quarters of the late 1930s Quebec, I don't think she has claimed that these or anti-Semitism explained why French Canadians (inside and outside Quebec) voted overwhelmingly against conscription.
		She has shown that the Bloc Populaire founded in the wake of the anti-conscription movement had strong streaks of anti-Semitism, but since it got only 4 seats in 1944 provincial elections and 2 seats in the 1945 federal elections, I'd say the anti-Semites were more obnoxious loudmouths than anything else.

		He was fit for duty but he did not serve.
		Esther Delisle, a Quebec historian, has stirred up an elitist hornet's nest in Quebec with books on establishment anti-Semitism and most significantly, on the gaping historical void concerning the Quebecois elite and their activity during World War II.
		Her book, "Myths, Memories and Lies" tells how some of the provincial elite supported Nazi collaborator Marshall Petain and his Vichy French government which administered Nazi-occupied France during the war.
