Le pasteur Jacques Martin, de l’objection de conscience à la résistance spirituelle à l’antisémitisme

Patrick Cabanel
Jacques Martin (1906-2001) is one of the numerous Protestant Ministers who were given the Medal of the Justs. Yet, he has the peculiarity of having chosen first the narrow path of conscientious objection at the beginning of the thirties. For him this means resistance rather than pacifism, and he never allows any compromise in a period of crisis: he rises up against Munich and against the choice of the Armistice of 1940. In his struggle against the anti-Semitism of Hitler and Pétain, he is, preceding even Jules Isaac whose friend he will become, fully aware of the Christian origins of this hatred. In November 1942, in front of an assembly of Pastors from the Cévennes, he reads a text, some parts of which still remain noteworthy, about the round up of August in the non-occupied zone. He succeeds in being quite easily both a man of action and also a man of thinking. After the war, he is one of the founders of the Judeo-Christian Association.
