Henri Bergson, 75-year-old internationally known philosopher, issued a statement today to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, denying categorically that he has embraced Catholicism.
The denial was issued in view of a report in the Nazi press stating that Bergson had given up his Jewish religion. Prof. Bergson, who is a member of the French Academy of Science, is still teaching in the College de France, despite his advanced age.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
