Controversy

Jacques Chailley was Secretary-General (1937), then Assistant Director (1941) of the Conservatoire de Paris. His role during the war has been subject of controverse. Jean Gribenski, who taught at the Sorbonne under the orders of Jacques Chailley, mentions in a chapter of the collective book ''La vie musicale sous Vichy'', that in collaboration with

. That a list was used for the exclusion of Jewish students from the Conservatory was challenged by contemporary Jewish witnesses during the symposium where Gribenski first presented the results of his research in 1999. The controversy reappeared in 2011, after the Sorbonne decided to give Chailley's name to an amphitheater (polemic triggered by an article in the weekly ''
