A Safe House Near Marseille

Monday, October 30, 2006

France was a dangerous place for artists and intellectuals in the early 1940s—many faced arrest, deportation…even death at the hands of the Nazis. In Villa Air-Bel, Rosemary Sullivan tells the true story of a safe house near Marseille that gave refuge to Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and many others.
