On January 6 , 1956 , at the Hôtel Lutetia in Paris , the MRAP ( NGO ) was awarded to Jules Isaac . The award recognized the “ great impact ” against Antisemitism made by Isaac ’s two books '' Jésus et Israël '' ( '' Jesus and Israel '' ) and '' Genèse de l'antisémitisme '' ( '' Genesis of Antisemitism '' ) . ” The colonial wars and the French economy 's dependence on immigrant labour during the '' Trente Glorieuses '' , extending from 1945 to 1974 , changed the positions of the struggle against a racism that began to take various forms . The MRAP supported anti-colonialism and was opposed to the Algerian War ( 1954 – 62 ) . It was one of the rare organizations to condemn the methods of the police prefect Maurice Papon and the Paris massacre of 1961
