About the author
Jane Rogoyska is a British writer and filmmaker whose books focus on twentieth-century European history, memory, and the lives obscured by official accounts. Her earlier work includes Gerda Taro and Surviving Katyn.
Hotel Exile follows the Hotel Lutetia in Paris as a place of wartime occupation and postwar return. The history turns a single building into a record of collaboration, survival, disappearance, and the difficult work of receiving people back from camps.
