More on Bernard Faÿ
Description from Wikipedia:
Bernard Faÿ (3 April 1893 - 5 December 1978) was a French historian of Franco-American relations and an anti-Masonic polemicist. He knew the United States at first hand, having studied at Harvard, and translated into French an excerpt of Gertrude Stein's The Making of Americans and wrote his view of the United States as it was at the beginning of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration. He also published studies of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. Faÿ was a friend of Gertrude Stein and of the American composer Virgil Thompson, who owed to Fay his access to French intellectual circles, for Faÿ knew everyone in musical and literary Paris. In 1935 Fay wrote La Franc-Maçonnerie au XVIIIe siècle, soon translated as Revolution and Freemasonry 1680-1800, to prove that the Freemasons were responsible for the French Revolution.
Despite his anti-semitism, Faÿ, who was gay and dated a Gestapo agent for much of the occupation, had protected Stein and Alice B. Toklas during the time. Stein wrote a letter on Faÿ's behalf when he was tried as a collaborator following the Liberation. In 1946, a French court condemned him to dégradation nationale and forced labour for life, but the historian managed to escape to Switzerland five years later. Appointed to an instructorship at the Institut de la Langue française in Fribourg, he was later forced to resign in the face of student protests.
Barbara Will is completing a book, Unlikely Collaboration: Gertrude Stein, Bernard Faÿ, and the Vichy Dilemma.
