Career

edit

Richard is a former faculty member of the
Universite de Picardie Jules Verne
in
Amiens
. His essays are regularly published by French publishing houses and periodicals such as
Le Magazine litteraire
,
Le Monde diplomatique
and '
Encyclopædia Universalis
.
Since 1971, Richard mainly works on various aspects of German history of the 20th century, dedicating himself mainly to
National Socialist Germany
and its effects on
humanity
and
culture
. Amongst other subjects he described the
Daily Life in the Weimar Republic
, created the
Encyclopedia of Bauhaus
and featured German expressionism. A series of his essays were translated into different languages and are now points of references in their field.
He was one of the hosts of
Le Panorama
, a radio show on cultural affairs presented by
France Culture
in 1968 to 1998. In 2010, Richard for the first time named
Maximilian Scheer
as the before unknown author of the 1936 publication
Das deutsche Volk klagt an
. In this book (in English:
The German People's Indictment
), Scheer and his collaborators presented the cruelty of the Nazi regime in its first three years of existence and outlined precisely its intention to go to war and to murder the Jews and other groups of German society. Richard presented his findings in
Le Monde diplomatique
, and thereafter he wrote a foreword for the reprint of the book in 2012.
