L'Œuvre (Eng. "The Work") was a French newspaper that was published from 1904 to 1946. After it was founded in 1904 by Gustave Téry , it was initially published monthly, then weekly from 1910 and finally daily from 1915. Their circulation rose from 55,000 copies in 1915 to 274,000 copies in 1939. Henri Raud succeeded Téry as editor in 1928 after his death.
Their advertising slogan was “Les imbéciles ne lisent pas L'Œuvre” (“Fools do n't read L'Œuvre ”). L'Œuvre was a platform for the spread of radical socialist and pacifist thoughts. In 1911, L'Œuvre published excerpts from private correspondence between Marie Curie and Paul Langevin . In 1916 she printed the anti-war novel Das Feuer by Henri Barbusse in advance . In the elections to the National Assembly in 1924 she supported the left alliance ("Cartel des Gauches") and in 1936 the Popular Front .
On July 5, 1940, after the German invasion, Marcel Déat took over the chief editor. Déat had already published the controversial essay “Mourir pour Dantzig?” (“Die for Danzig?”) In L'Œuvre in May 1939 , in which he questioned the need for France to enter the war in the event of a German attack against Poland. As editor-in-chief, Déat worked closely with the German occupation forces and gave the newspaper an anti-Semitic orientation. L'Œuvre was published until 1946 when it was discontinued.
