collaborationism during the German occupation of Paris.[2] The company received capital from the Germans and published pro-Nazi books, including "anti-Semitic manuals [ . . . ], a collection of Hitler's speeches, and the two most famous anti-Semitic literary works of the time: a new edition of Céline's Bagatelles pour un massacre (1937) and Lucien Rebatet's Les Déscombres".[3]:161 During those same years, however, they also advertised "well-known authors of the left" and published the works of the Jewish author Elsa Triolet.[3]

Denoël was murdered on 2 December 1945 while changing a wheel on his car.[4][5]:xi The circumstances surrounding his death were mysterious, and it was "possible that he was assassinated for political reasons";[4] the police officially listed it as a "random crime of violence".[5]:xi Following his death, Denoël's mistress, Jeanne Loviton, became the legal owner of the company.[6]:37 In 1951 she sold a 90 percent stake of the company to Gaston Gallimard, "Denoël's arch enemy and publishing rival".[5]:301
