In her powerful new book, Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War, Jane tells the extraordinary true story of one iconic Parisian hotel \u2014 the H\u00f4tel Lutetia \u2014 and uses it as a haunting window into the human drama of World War II. Once a glamorous Left Bank landmark and favorite haunt of artists and writers like Picasso, Matisse, James Joyce, and Andr\u00e9 Gide, the Lutetia became a refuge for German exiles and anti-Nazi dissidents fleeing Hitler in the 1930s. Then, during the Nazi occupation of Paris, it was seized and transformed into the headquarters of the Abwehr \u2014 the German military intelligence service. After liberation, it took on one final, heartbreaking role as a repatriation center for survivors returning from concentration camps. &amp;nbsp; SUPPORT THE SHOW:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/HistoryShortsPodcast ADVERTISE:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com\/advertise&amp;nbsp; LEARN MORE:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com\/ &amp;nbsp; SPONSORED BY:&amp;nbsp;www.thecollector.com&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"History Shorts","author_url":"https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41549915\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/202659065"}
