Relativism: A New French Novel Sanitizes Holocaust History

 

The New York Times reports that a new French novel uses relativism to sanitize France's role in the Holocaust. The novel fictionalizes the life of the woman in the Robert Capa photo "Shaved Woman of Chartres." The woman, Simone Touseau, was a pro Nazi collaborator. In the novel, she is presented sympathetically, because, as the author says in the above quote, there are no saints or bastards. 

That's a relativist stance. In fact there are saints and there are bastards.
