> Some of the most antisemitist states in WW2 had lots of Jews surviving German occupation (see France) I don't think that France would qualify as one of the most antisemitist state of WW 2.

But I agree that having a unoccupied zone for most of the war and keeping most state institutions helped saving most of the Jews living in France before the war.
