he felt like a failure, as a business man and a father diesel, the father 10 children, but didn't really take care of them because he was la prestone. so my mom, it was my mom who raised us, sit down. he was a father. but more of a business man than a family for me. during the great depression, when his hotel attracted few guests people, li jeremy worked on the many small, detailed invention and special feature which would eventually save liberty stole for instance, liberty stone was the 1st hotel in paris to have combined heating and air conditioning unit. but equally jeremy, his most famous invention was the magnifying mirror could exalt. there are many examples that show, he was

a visionary. does she pick those little magnifying mirrors in the bathrooms, which are now standard fixtures in every hotel around the world? now they're completely normal, but they were invented by people. each man, though no one knows that if he patented them, he'd have become a billionaire. unfortunately, he didn't do that at the time, but that gives you an idea of the kind of hotel here. he was full of ideas, creative to see pretty jamaica. he did a korea and it was also a poly jam, is idea to create an air raid shelter here to create a place where people could take refuge yet. once again, i refuse within a refuge, just in case something really dramatic happened in paris. the lean years dragged on. still people lead and a wealth of contacts, bankers, restaurant tours and politicians who helped keep him afloat at a time when many hotels were going under me.

ironically, it was only when german troops rushed in and see paris in 1940. that the tide turned for equally chummy and liberally. as the germans began to take control of the city and requisition its hotel, the police had to quickly come up with a plan to save his establishment. still taking the nazis requisition the small medium large hotels. according to the here are key of the troops who were to be lodged there, whether they were officers or soldiers, cinemas were reserved for them. and for dells too. and all the signage was in germany. it's me, me and roughly the same spot where the hotel bar now sand people, lead jam, a build his famous air, raid, shelter it with his 8th and the whole no other hotel could offer its guests

such a sense of security. me as germany had not yet declared war on the united states, people, li jammy took a big gamble posted attribute. i think he realized very quickly that history was sealing the fate of paris and with it that of his business. and of course, he had this famous air raid shelter. so he went to see the american ambassador in paris. he believed asked him to tell all his compatriots, or at least with his diplomats in paris, that they should come and stay here. so that this place would remain almost neutral as far as that was possible at the time. when you stick, it shows you prevail, go. i told you. so american diplomat settled in that liberal dog. although the embassy had previously dealt with the creole, the americans were swayed by the air raid shelter, as well as the facts that people eat,

let the embassy staff have the rooms for free. that proof to be another clever move on his part. after american ambassador william berlin and his entourage moved in liberty, stone was not only protected from being seized by the germans. it was also fully booked for the 1st time in years. mm. the hotel was the site of secret political meetings, as well as a place where ordinary visitors from around the world could still find accommodation and war time. but i was calling because my father had this agreements with the american ambassador. it was considered to be a us hotel. as a result, it was never close to me. said it was opened to parisians, were already to everybody told me, in spite of all the restrictions, the police stole was flourishing again. the only hotel in the city to do so many

jewish citizens were already fleeing from the nazis. for some of them liberally stole became a place of refuge. together with her aid organization and morgan, the daughter of famous american banker, j. p. morgan arranged the lodgings at the hotel for numerous jews from 1940 to 41. they were later evacuated to the u. s. but equally john may also secretly stowed away another jewish citizen. his name was leo. lemme ruth. the jew, he hid was his architect, monsieur, mom. she created the new restaurant that still exists today. mon mom, lived in room one o 6 for the entire duration of the wall. 8 years you sent his family, his children to switzerland. so the only one in his family who stayed in paris

won't be here. my father picked him up and paid in full time employee. apprentice me the the, the elevators wrought iron grill is the work of leo law, as are many other features still in existence. at the stove today, i for a full 4 years left mall lived in hiding here. and during this time, he renovated a large part of the hotel and he was an extraordinary man. even today you can't walk through this hotel without mentioning him about it. though let them all himself had to keep his wanderings here to a minimum i

made me a good dog. the funny thing is that he kept on working for the bristol just at night. so he walked through the hallways at night. he designed the wrought iron grill on the elevator during this time i left. at the end of the more he left the hotel as a free man ah last ma renovated 50 rooms during his years at liberty to sit on the ticket. apparently he was a man who could walk into an existing room and in the blink of an eye. you just what could be done to make it even more pleasant? said was keep away yet pockets woke up presently. right under the noses of the german occupiers and other guests. he bravely and secretly

supervised the renovation from his hotel room really book fell back little sash track. then no one was to know he was there because little indiscretions are quickly committed. people are only human after roll, but monsieur, even made his room number disappear, entirely fridge that in people's minds. this room didn't even exist. room one or 6, you know, there's room one or 5, but 16 doesn't exist. so green is to but it's not known what happened to lay or left mile after the war, anti bully jimmy never breathed a word about this incredible story, spots good luck. and i think that for him to have taken the risk because it was arrested for which mature man could have paid a heavy price. they must have been more than casual acquaintances. cut them over time, they became quite close,

fresh. yet the cap actually hadn't cases like this of french people who saved the french juicy, micro history by the new coil. 22. but i think these little stories because history and to manage people don't need to add a new mentee comment. i think we also have a need to show that such cases a solidarity exist 15 amanda city that he but this hotel type demand, as long as this will be unknown. the when the united states entered the war in december 1941. the situation changed yet again for equally jammy and his hotel to police stone, which had previously been neutral territory now catered to the german embassies gas . so after the war, he was accused of collaborating with the nazis as he was under the command of the

chief of protocol, of the german embassy in paris fits bordeaux to shift until 11 for a time. he had to work together with his chief of protocol from the german embassy in paris, who was visibly very hot. you have been in contact with a police chum age. unfortunately, observe is in catch on to that right away, which you can understand at such an overwhelming time. shortly book at the i can only imagine that this kind of interaction in a hotel that was supposedly a hotel for diplomat neutral protected choir would raise lots and lots of questions . she typical book quickly, but afterwards it turned out the person in question was a double agent. i believe him sobbed that he, no bordeaux, with a german who's spied for the french people in jam. a kept his silence, even though he could have cleared his name. his discretion applied to everyone,

he monday was seaman de built one in the hotel during the war. he rips is associated with personalities like coco chanel. lived there for 30 years, clues. it's similar with other hotels, with lemoine, salvador dali, to my knowledge. the bristol never used art is intellectuals or painters. he does to draw attention to itself. nothing ever says neither talk of collaborate. nor will you quit stories about hidden people who want to see trust, to crit, maybe because it's such a discreet place. what up a, c p u i . and those who are very discreet, lead, no traces behind me.

ah at the end of the 2nd world war, drew closer regions longed for peace. ah and on august 25th 1944. their wish was granted with the liberation of parents. by this time need jeremy had skilfully guided his hotel through 20 to moultry with years of history in the making. and in the final hours of the german occupation,

he even helped to alter the course of history. hitler's order to completely destroy paris was not executed in the end and liberally stole played a part in this in exchange for sparing the city. $150.00 german officers wives were hidden from the french resistance and the police stole for a night and smuggled out of paris unharmed. ah, the man responsible for cutting the deal was swedish consul general. how will nordland, who knew he believed chummy and liberally stole very well? ah, today the hotels roman this story is hardly known. liberty stole has never boasted

about this part of its history. its focus remains on being the ideal luxury hotel but no. lemme the jewish architect who found refuge here, left his mark on the stove, restaurant in 1940 the hotel coal store was located here. the room was badly damaged. the mon covered the walls of the oval shaped room with light colored wood. he swapped the art deco furnishings for fine 18th century style furniture, giving the room a sense of elegance warmed intimacy, and distinction. every question has made the police those epicure restaurant into a colon every temple which holds 3 michelin stars. and like i do in the home, that was all every day. table reservations are discussed. the restaurant is always fully booked up with the who's coming. are they v i p, which is only thought,

i think that it can be a waste that try out the new dishes on the menu. they must know exactly what they're serving and how it tastes to use them. cuz a lot of the wine selection must also be perfect. the summer lea a coordinates it with the chef and the restaurant manager people li jammy was the only hotel owner in paris who remained lord of his castle throughout the war. mm. in the post war period, the hotels exceptionally good condition which owed much to leo la mon, lead the french foreign ministry to officially designate liberty stone as a place to stay when ambassadors and the accredited diplomats visited the french capital, the paris was once again

a major player on the international political stage and visiting world leader is also needed. hotel rooms the west german chancellor carnival the other now. i often stayed at liberty stall and it was here that he and french president charles the goal hammered out the final details of the treaty. the friendship treaty between france and west germany, the walk with the beach when the striking from the stock chancellor, i don't know, i had an apartment here that come from the time he started coming to paris regularly. and, you know, he didn't always physically occupier their pay. and after that it was standard practice for all german chancellor to have an apartment in paris. they didn't have to register off the bus to prepare for their arrival. it was like they were at home newspaper. he'd have a news to come see the tissues ah,

in his day, jim aim at many great statesmen, including then us president harry truman liberally. stone was now a true luxury class hotel. even today politicians, including german chancellor angle america, appreciate it's relative seclusion. we're still let you talk when i think le bristol has always been a meeting place for the powerful due to its proximity to the c panel as to who am i interior ministry peak. so the political world has always been here the business world as well. multi school because business, many publications, in places of power law, oppression and a lot of galleries have to get up shop nearby. don't is on the, on the one morning and main 1964

people each. i'm a unexpectedly collapse on the sidewalk. 2 days later, after suffering a heart attack and a stroke, he died from then on his eldest son, pierre ran the family business. the young rebel became pierre the hotel manager and husband aah for la police dahl. he flew around the world like his father before him. p f m a met with v. like then, future french president jacques. she hock. but what would a luxury hotel be without a truly romantic love story? with after he asked the divorce from his 1st wife, heidi entered his life. the young german woman was looking for a job at the stolen paris of all places. i

am at 19 and i wasn't even age you when you were 21 back then and came to paris and they did not police. it was a 22 hour train trip to travel from berlin, paris to long enough to fly to america 3 times today. ah, miss m phone when he finally received me, it took just half an hour and i was tired of this game. so when quite father's john enough. no, you can't hear what you want to do. me that i don't kid tell me what you want me to do. and that was it. you have room know, then you get one tina, etc. and i was out the door. oh back then it was twice heidi's age but that proved no obstacle.

ah, it was love lick already. sweet. ah, the couple married in 1966. ah, 3 years later their daughter was born. ah, the family enjoyed living in the hotel. they received the guests and represented and carried on equally jeremy's legacy. was passion. just simply the nicest thing in the piano. and heidi continued to run the hotel through the 1900 sixties and seventies back then strict codes of conduct were still in place. that luxury hotel ah, give us one message. we actually wanted more of a quiet clientele, but not like the him today. steve,

the horton little old fashion, for example, you know, man couldn't restaurant. i doubt we're in your time today that so think about later liberally. so got its own hair salon, and last but not least, something equally jammy had always rejected out of hand. an in house bar which i can't tell my father has dipped a magic day on town, did not want a bomb in the breast dog. he was afraid that street walkers would come into the hotel again for route. we started, i opened the bar here now and 1975. josephine baker celebrated her 50th stage anniversary in paris. 250 invited guests came to liberty stole to join in the revelry with the legendary

american born performer who found fame in france boldly to chemo. poppy josefina baker also celebrated the last evening of her life. here it was the last big soiree presided over by the family. mm. i drove up. we held the last and if i chose the team who died the next day at the funeral was hounded la, madeleine user lin or no book who we have lots and lots of artists says use actress to seal. so i came down the stairs and asked it, i no good doing that. i'll do lots of you. so

she liberally sto now boasts one of the largest hotel, wine sellers in france, almost 100000 bottles are stored here. 85 percent of them are french wine some 15 years ago, liberally stole began producing its own house wine and has a mass quite a collection. formerly a bell now never always finds just the right vintage to go with every meal served at the epicure restaurant. even equally jammy wasn't averse to a glass or 2 and i mean, we started them of course let based on had a wine cellar bag then though it didn't have as many bottles, reduction. we've been lucky enough to acquire a large number of bottles. and through the great efforts of the shaft,

the restaurant was awarded with the 1st 2. then 3 mission, i started it on me. so we've really expanded our wine cellar because the demand is down. like trying to come to eat lunch or dinner at a 3 star restaurant in commerce when it comes to wine and gas trying to me so we must respond to that demand and dance. what we've done is almost a century has passed since liberty sto 1st opened at stores in 1978. the shamay family sold the hotel. in addition to pierre, the managing director lead had 9 other children who stood to inherit their share. awe. today liberally stole is a 5 star palace hotel. the highest hotel classification that exists in france. its managed to retain its original character, discreet and unobtrusive, and laid back while moving with the time easily readings, half

a phone. well, as you can see now on the 1st female head, concierge of palace hotel would be bad at the sauce. this was mainly a man's profession. wow. why? because she used to work the way up through the course malays or bell boys, smell and back. then they had to carry heavy load. if it's very small ultra light, see we have today more lead. they were essentially all man bill which you and then they had to park my car, which was also a male domains the good. but today, there are schools which let young people young women trained to become exceeded and unable to enter this profession. sonia, pop his duties as concierges differ considerably from those of her predecessors, routine, furna, stead protest. maybe there was a telephone in the beginning that may be knocked leguinn fax machines and tell him if he called me an occasion was very different back then when it rebecca knew me.

and when you wanted to make a reservation at the restaurant, you had to know the phone number by heart have the right contact. maybe i could have been told that when i left an establishment, concierge on hold their address book. they separate, they fold the positions with all the contacts that is nipple and also experience. the sales are now with the new social networks and the internet. our clients can get the information they want you to have to take a formation key. so our profession has changed entirely, as the clients are already in new york. it is a l. d. no. what they want to do is say ross at the hotel and lieutenant sky, the fair liberty stole, is open to wall, yet retains an air of mystery. woody allen shot his film midnight in paris here, and a listers like leonardo dicaprio or regular guests who can come and go virtually unnoticed

. ah, do need, we've added attach a glamour to the bristol in recent years before things here were more masculine. diplomat, businessman finance, and now we have given it a bit of glamour with the cinema lumber remaining very pretty. so here i suspect it all comes back to that aspect of being safe, of being sheltered from everything. even if you do something terrible, even if you leave here thinking you should never have done it, what happens here stays here. so the word will never get out if it's suspended. and this aspect of silence, which we call discretion, is something that has always characterized us is and what's good is it's something that underlines the family aspect. what happens in a family stays in a family and he asked me,

ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, they're important to the economy is huge. but getting hold of them is often a dirty business. critical commodities make us mo bile make smartphones smires. how can today's global hunger for lithium cobalt and more re satisfied need integer d w into the conflict zone with tim sebastian,

the council of europe included blazes, newman rights and democracy in europe. and it makes unpleasantly decided to question the leading official who's trying to protect human life. union me out of commission. i think human rights as opposed to what is it suspect? conflict on the 90 minute d w. ah, excuse me. what can immigrants they know, the police will stop they know that the road is not a solution. they know their flight could be fatal. going back, not an option. peace ma, i'm on and rather take,
