Michael Robert Marrus, (born February 3, 1941) is a Canadian historian of France, the Holocaust and Jewish history. He was born in Toronto and received his BA at the University of Toronto in 1963 and his MA and PhD at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964 and 1968. He is a Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=University of Toronto Centre of Jewish Studies )〕 Marrus is an expert on the history of French Jewry and anti-semitism. He co-wrote with Robert Paxton a book on Vichy France that shows that the anti-semitism of Vichy was not imposed by the Germans, that at times Vichy was more brutal towards the French Jews than the Germans and the French state played a leading and indispensable role in organizing the deportation of Jews to death camps. Furthermore, Marrus and Paxton argued that Vichy was more brutal than other European states occupied by the Germans. Marrus's book the ''Holocaust in History'' is a well-regarded historiographical survey. Marrus wants the Holocaust to be seen as tragedy for humanity, not just Jews. In his book, Marrus was able to offer a synthesis such as the Functionalist vs Intentionalist views of the origins of the Holocaust. In 2001, after failing to gain access to the Vatican archives from the period after 1923, the International Catholic-Jewish Historical Commission disbanded amid controversy. Unsatisfied with the findings, Marrus said the commission "ran up against a brick wall.... It would have been really helpful to have had support from the Holy See on this issue."〔Melissa Radler.

July 24, 2001.〕 Professor Michael Marrus was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Governor General of Canada )〕 Marrus married Randi Greenstein in 1971 and has three children. ==Work== *"European Jewry and the Politics of Assimilation: Assessment and Reassessment," ''The Journal of Modern History'' Vol. 49, No. 1, March 1977. *''The Politics of Assimilation: The French Jewish Community at the Time of the Dreyfus Affair'', 1980. *Coauthored with Robert O.
