About Fernand Sorlot

Lived 1904 – 1981 (aged 77). Fernand Sorlot was a French publisher.

Fernand Sorlot (2 March 1904, Bédoin, Vaucluse – 10 August 1981, Le Vaumain, Oise) was a French editor and publisher. In 1934, his publishing company, the Nouvelles Éditions latines, published a French translation of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Sorlot did not own the copyright, and he was sued by the Franz Eher Nachfolger, mainly because Hitler did not want the French to read the book. After World War II, Sorlot was convicted of Indignité nationale for ten years.
