Diana Pollin and her husband, the French architect, Alain Guyot have collaborated to produce works about France and America during the Occupation in Marseille, 1940. Their work has centered around Varian Fry, the first American war hero who spent a year in Marseille saving over 2000 people. (see website villaairbel1940.fr) Their work has produced two books, La (French language) villa air bel 1940-42, un phalanstère d'artistes in hard copy and the American language adaptation- Thirty Two Acres of Paradise available on Kindle. Diana has a Masters in French Literature from Middlebury and a doctoral degree from the Sorbonne in Paris. She writes and translates and enjoys the wonderful atmospheres of the South - the south of France and the south of Florida where she and Alain make their home.
