In the Shadows of Paris<\/em> is part memoir, part historical document revealing a lesser-known chapter of the Holocaust. On December 12, 1941, the Nazis carried out a mass arrest\u2014in French the word is rafle<\/em>, but there is no equivalent in English that captures the horror\u2014of einflussreiche Juden<\/em>, as the Germans put it. For that there is an equivalent: \u201cinfluential Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those doctors, professors, artists, and others at the upper levels of French society were then imprisoned less than fifty miles from Paris in the Royallieu-Compi\u00e8gne concentration camp. Those who did not perish in Frontstalag 122 were deported by the infamous cattle cars to Auschwitz and other death camps, except for the few to escape that fate. L\u00e9once Schwartz was one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n Anne Sinclair was born in New York City and moved to France with her family as a young girl. There she rose to fame, in part due to her family\u2019s vast collection of paintings by Picasso, Degas, Seurat, and Renoir, which she would become heir to, but also because her beauty and social grace led to her serving as the model for statues of Marianne, the national emblem of France. From 1984 to 1997 she hosted 7 sur 7<\/em>, France\u2019s popular Sunday evening news show, similar to CBS\u2019s 60 Minutes<\/em>; during that time she interviewed many world figures, including Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon Peres, and Prince Charles. She is the author of numerous bestsellers in France<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hardcover | jacketed In the Shadows of Paris:The Nazi Concentration Camp That Dimmed the City of Light Anne SinclairNational Jewish Book Award Finalist 2021 Translated from the French by Sandra Smith. \u201cIn her deeply affect\u00ading mem\u00adoir, Sin\u00adclair bril\u00adliant\u00adly cap\u00adtures what her grand\u00adfa\u00adther endured at Roy\u00adal\u00adlieu-Com\u00adpi\u00e8gne\u2026.[and] reminds us of how lit\u00adtle time is left to gath\u00ader every one of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=463"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":685,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463\/revisions\/685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kalespress.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
