The book that will be discuses at this Books and Bagels is Village of Secrets: Defying the Nazis in Vichy France by Charoline Moorehead. It is a non fiction book that takes place in 1941, in Germany-occupied France, Jewish children were smuggled to le Chambon-sur-lignon, a small town in the center of the country, where they were sheltered. The town has long been mythologized for the actions of its inhabitants. but history is more complex. Instead of one village, there were several, and the inhabitants were far from united in their decision to help. This discussion is being led by Andrea Tyson.
