Overview:
Eileen Gray, born in 1878 to an aristocratic Irish-Scottish family, was a pioneering designer and architect whose work continues to define the Modern era. After studying in London, she moved to Paris in 1902, where she gained respect for her innovative designs, including the Adjustable Table, Lota Sofa, and Tube Light. Gray led a bohemian lifestyle, embracing both men and women, fast cars, and travel, while revolutionizing living spaces. Her architectural masterpiece, the E.1027 house in Roquebrune, captivated fellow architect Le Corbusier, though it ultimately strained their friendship. Despite passing away in 1976, largely forgotten, Gray’s legacy endures, with her original pieces fetching millions at auctions and admired by figures like Yves St. Laurent. Her work remains avant-garde, solidifying her status as an icon of the Modern movement and one of the twentieth century’s most intriguing women.

2014-06-07
When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
