Abstract
The author places The Stavisky Affair of 1933 and the life of Ukranian Jew Serge Alexandre Stavisky, who was found to have embezelled millions of Francs, into the context of a string of political and financial scandals involving France’s political elite beginning in the late 1800s that played into the of hands of Third Republic dissenters and unleashed pent-up anger that erupted in riots in February 1934. The author reviews French political culture, the role of the French media, the role of anti-semitism and immigration policy, and the clash of the political left and right.
