The Lion, the Son of Joy

In the last years of the USSR, a graduate of a technical university and a researcher at the Research Institute of Chemical Physics, Leonid Katsis, began to actively engage in literary criticism, following only his own ideas about what to consider as an established fact. The appearance of such an uncompromising figure frightens, irritates some professional philologists, and those literary critics who, like Leonid Fridovich himself, came to the profession from technical fields.

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".
