Episode 2. the Papin SistersRemixed, Re-edited Two sisters serving as maids in France in the 1930s suddenly and without warning, committed the most heinous and shocking crime France had ever known. To this day, the motive behind their violent crime has never been very clear. Many believe their brutal actions were a consequence of their unstable upbringing. Others think it was an act of madness while some think their actions were a symptom of the era’s extreme class warfare going on in France.Sources:the Leader-Post, Oxford University Press, the Vintage News, the Guardian, NYTimes, True Crimes of the Papin Sisters by Amy Delaney
