Sigmaringen is a historical novel written by Pierre Assouline, which narrates the events that occurred in the German city of Sigmaringen during World War II. In September 1944, this city, until then untouched by the war, became the refuge of the Vichy government, headed by Marshal Pétain and President Laval, along with militiamen and French civilians. Hitler made available to them the castle of the princes of Hohenzollern, where Julius Stein, the butler, observes from the shadows the machinations and passions of the exiles, while the Allies inexorably approach. The novel explores the intrigues, betrayals, and ambitions of the characters in a context of the imminent fall of the Third Reich.
Pierre Assouline is a French writer and journalist. He was born in Casablanca, Morocco to a Jewish family. He has published several novels and biographies, and also contributes articles for the print media and broadcasts for radio.
