After years of studying war-torn communities, anthropologist Maggie Paxson had had enough. She wanted to see what she could learn about a place that specialized in peace. A family connection to Le Chambon and its World War II rescue operation brought her to the plateau, where she learned that a new effort to help refugees was underway. In this bonus episode, Paxson shares stories from her new book “The Plateau,” and what she learned about this remarkable place that continues to help strangers.
