PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy, facing a tide of criticism over his call for schoolchildren to "adopt" Jewish child victims of the Holocaust, hit back on Friday saying France had to raise children "with open eyes".

In a speech praising faith that also drew fire from secularists, Sarkozy told France's Jewish community on Wednesday that every 10-year-old schoolchild should be "entrusted with the memory of a French child victim of the Holocaust".

The proposal unleashed a storm of protest from teachers, psychologists and his political foes who said it would unfairly burden children with the guilt of previous generations and some could be traumatized by identifying with a Holocaust victim.

More than 11,100 French Jewish children were deported from France to Auschwitz and other n**i death camps in eastern Europe during the German World War Two occupation.

  1. **** the French....they murdered all the African Muslims that served under them in WW2 because the wanted their pay after receiving medals, and wouldn't leave when refused...not to mention the c**p that goes on there the last couple years. The only time their president makes headlines is when hes drinking some wine or dating a supermodel....bs.

    When are the jews going to stop whining about this c**p.

  3. He doesn't want the leftists and muslims to keep glossing over it as though it never happened.
