Maurice Sachs (born Maurice Ettinghausen, 16 September 1906, Paris - 14 April 1945, Germany) was a French-Jewish writer. == Biography == Sachs was the son of a Jewish family of jewelers. He was educated in an English-style boarding-school, lived for a year in London and worked in a bookshop, and returned to Paris.〔 .〕 In 1925 he converted to Catholicism and decided to become a priest, though this didn't last upon meeting a young man on the beach at Juan-les-Pins. After involvement in a number of dubious business activities, he traveled to New York, where he passed himself off as an art dealer. Returning to Paris, he associated himself with leading homosexual writers of the time - Cocteau, Gide, and Max Jacob - with all of whom he had stormy relationships whose precise nature is unclear. At various times he worked for Jean Cocteau and Coco Chanel, in both cases stealing from them. He associated with Violette Leduc who describes her friendship with him in her autobiography La Batarde. She describes the writing, and her reading of the first version of ''Le Sabbat'' in ''La Batarde'' (pages 380-400) and how she tried to get him, unsuccessfully, to remove harsh references to Jean Cocteau. Sachs was mobilized at the start of World War II, but was discharged for sexual misconduct. During the early years of the Occupation, he made money out of helping Jewish families escape to the Unoccupied Zone. He may also have been an informer for the Gestapo. He was later imprisoned in Fuhlsbüttel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maurice Sachs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
