This article analyzes the perception of the Third Reich in Quebec intellectual journals between 1933 and 1947 from three different perspectives: first, by examining the historical context, in a period characterized by intense cultural and intellectual creativity; second, by analyzing the major themes surrounding the perception of the Third Reich in Quebec intellectual journals, a perception influenced by a new and very strong interest in German politics and German culture, which reflected a desire to understand Hitler's rise to power and the phenomenon of Nazism; and, finally, by focussing on key rhetorical devices, especially the discourse on “the two Germanies” and the distinction established between the German people as a whole and collective responsibility for Nazi crimes.
