S3: Episode 13: Why Is Hortense Alive? (Season 3, Episodes 1 & 2)
A French Village Podcast with Sarah Longwell and Ben WittesShow Notes
But seriously, how and why is Hortense alive? Sarah is confused; Ben is indignant. Warning: Season 3 has some nasty Holocaust stuff. The nature of Vichy changes as the deportations start. Class, status, and nationality distinctions deteriorate within the Jewish community (communities?). Servier is a stand-in for bureaucracy, and he gets much worse in these episodes. The printing press caper put the bourgeoning resistance in a difficult situation.
