Crime and their Victims
Violette Nozière was a French woman who was convicted of murdering her father. Known as "L'Affaire" the trial had everything to captivate all of France in the 1930s - parracide, incest, prostitution, syphilis. Given all the lies and stories Violette stated during the trial and her complete silence after her release from prison we will never truly know what happened in the small apartment on the 3rd floor of 9 Rue de Madagascar one steamy, hot August night.

On a hot, humid August evening in 1933, in a working-class neighborhood in Paris, eighteen-year-old Violette Nozière gave her mother and father glasses of barbiturate-laced “medication,” which she told them had been prescribed by the family doctor; her father died while the mother barely survived. Almost immediately Violette’s act of “double parricide” became the most sensational private crime of the French interwar era—discussed and debated so passionately that it was compared to the Dreyfus Affair. Why would the beloved only child of respectable parents do such a thing?

In the end she was found guilty, sentenced to death. Then the sentenced was commuted to life at hard labor … then down to 12 years … then finally released from prison in 1945.
