Natan, le fantôme de la rue Francoeur

In 1927, Bernard Natan, a Frenchman of Romanian origin (born Natan Tannenzapf) inaugurated the Montmartre film studios. A few years later, he took over the management of the Pathé company, which became Pathé Natan. Bernard Natan profoundly reorganized the company and ensured its success. But the Great Depression of the 1930s plunged the economy into turmoil and Bernard Natan fell prey to the extreme right-wing press. He was arrested in 1938, stripped of his French nationality and finally handed over to the Germans in 1942. Deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, he died there shortly afterwards.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
