The Toronto daily Globe And Mail publishes an article about the controversy surrounding the work of Esther Delisle as it is presented in “Je me souviens“, Eric Scott‘s latest film:

– Ray Conlogue – 22 mai 2002 – The Globe And Mail –
The film particularly attacks Le Devoir. Ms. Deslisle’s researcher, Jacques Zylberberg, appears on screen and states that between 1929 and 1939, “every day there was an anti-Semitic editorial, there was an anti-Semitic cartoon on page one of Le Devoir, and often very little else . . . and it went on for decades.” (…) Eric Scott acknowledges that “there was some hyperbole in Mr. Zylberberg’s delivery.” He added that he is not hostile to Quebec’s sovereignists, but “I vilify an element in the sovereignist movement that refuses to acknowledge this element of the nationalist history.”
