"Their stay in France lasted through World War II, when Simenon, exhibiting the careless anti-Semitism so deeply ingrained in much of European society, prospered by becoming, Assouline writes, ''not a man of commitment, but an opportunist.'' He submitted his novels to German censors, and his films were made in active collaboration with Vichy officials. He became enormously wealthy." - The Maigret Machine

Nor is the resulting portrait a particularly attractive one.
