    Biography
    Henri Barbusse (May 17, 1873-August 30, 1935) was a French novelist and journalist. He became famous with the publication of his novel Le Feu [Under Fire] in 1916, which was based on his experiences during World War I. It shows his growing hatred of militarism. His book won the Prix Goncourt. His later works, Manifeste aux Intellectuels, Elevations (1930) and others, show a more definitively revolutionary standpoint. He died in Moscow and is buried in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France.

    Film Provenance
    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum purchased five 16mm film reels called "Die Katze im Sack" from a flea market in Berlin, Germany via Juergen Matthaeus (Museum staff member) in September 2003. The original owner and subjects are unknown. It is likely that the films were collected and/or filmed by a Wehrmacht officer stationed in Paris in early 1940.
