Father Guy

Father Guy Barbier de Courteix (September 20, 1921 – June 21, 2011) was a Roman Catholic priest who worked in Finland from 1964 and, from 1992 onwards, also in Estonia. After the occupation of France by German forces in 1940, he was sent as a laborer to a war factory in the city of Halle, Germany, where he joined the resistance movement. He was soon arrested and held in five different prisons and four concentration camps. Miraculously, he survived the Nazi concentration camps and became a Catholic priest in 1951. In Estonia and Finland, he was the only one engaged in exorcism.

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".
