For many Christians who had been in the camps, however, such squabbling among survivors missed the real meaning of the camp experience. For Jesuit Father Michel Riquet, a disciple of Jacques Maritain and a Mauthausen survivor himself, the Nazis were not so much fascists or totalitarians as they were latter-day pagans, who like the Egyptian pharaoh of old or the emperors of Rome had inflicted unspeakable cruelties on God’s children. These martyrs deserved memorializing, and Riquet led the fight to create just such a memorial, the Mémorial des martyrs de la Déportation on the Ile de la Cité just behind Notre-Dame Cathedral (where Father Riquet preached Easter sermons). It was inaugurated in 1962.
