Les années 1930. La fabrique de «l'Homme nouveau» (French)

Pierre Théberge, Jean Clair 

On the heels of the Roaring Twenties, the 1930s, which spanned from the economic crisis of 1929 to the outbreak of the Second World War, was a dark decade. Beyond similar governmental mechanisms, these regimes shared an ideology: the will to create what they called the "New Man." This decade began with a more or less innocent dream of the theme of the original egg, germination, the harmonious growth of a fabric both biological and social, but ended with the nightmarish discovery of corpses in the concentration camps by the armies of liberation in 1945.
