Henri Amouroux (1 July 1920 in Périgueux, Dordogne – 5 August 2007 in Le Mesnil-Mauger) was a French historian and journalist.
His testimony was used to counter American historian Robert O. Paxton's version of the Vichy France period during World War II.
His testimony was criticized mostly by lawyers representing Jewish Holocaust victims who accused Amouroux of being an apologist for Papon and Vichy France's collaboration with the Nazis.
Amouroux denied all charges[1] and MRAP's lawyer, Gérard Boulanger, was convicted for defamation in 1997.
[4][5] Amouroux was a member of the Institut de France and served as president of the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques.
