Cynthia Bisson, PhD, Professor of History, Belmont University, French Resistant Expert“Informative and entertaining, Stew Ross’ newest work evokes a difficult and frightening time in the history of the City of Light. The detailed descriptions of sites such as the Vél’ d’hiv’ or Gestapo headquarters reminds us of the choices people made during those years.”
Richard H.F. Neave, President Royal British Legion Paris branch, member Paris-based Libre Résistance SOE “F” Section and author of SOE: A Life in the Shadows“Another outstanding, well-researched, and presented book by Stew Ross. It gives a detailed guided walking tour full of facts about the activities of the Gestapo during their occupation of Paris during World War II. I highly recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in what life was like during the Nazi occupation in France.”
Is this the same address where during WWII a doctor lived who was a serial murderer? It looks like it has been remodeled compared to its appearance then.
Yes. The original building has been demolished in the post-war era. Doctor Petiot’s plate can be seen at the Prefecture de police’s Criminology Museum in Paris.
Henry is correct. The original building was demolished in the 1950s. Petiot and his family lived in another building located on Rue Caumartin. His medical office was in that building and the plate was attached next to the entrance door. STEW
Yes, it is. Original building has been demolished in the post-war years. Doctor Petiot’s orginal plate can be seen at the Prefecture de Police Criminology Museum in Paris.
