Henri Bernstein

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri/Henry Bernstein, Henri/Henry-Léon-Gustave-Charles Bernstein (June 20, 1876 - 1953) was a French playwright. The far right royalists Camelots du Roy, youth organization of the Action française, organized an anti-Semitic riot against a representation of one of his play in 1911. During the Second World War he fled to the United States, and lived in New York at the Waldorf Astoria. Jean-Pierre Aumont relates in his work Le Soleil et les Ombres (Robert Laffont, 1976) the luxury in which he lived as well as his general disinterest in the war.
