During the German occupation of France in World War II, it was placed under the control of Nazi occupying forces and used as a detention center. The hospital was called a "mousetrap": Jewish women who gave birth at the hospital would be required to register and surrender their children to the Gestapo immediately after birth. A resistance network was organized with the help of medical personnel in the hospital. Many children were declared stillborn to prevent the Nazis of being aware of their existence.(Submitted on January 28, 2026.)
