CONVERSATIONS WITH MY RABBI
FEATURED BOOK
the-renoir-girls-9781668232484_hr by CATHERINE OSTLER. At face value the 1881 portrait of two little girls in pink and blue silk is a painting of the daughters of a French aristocrat in Renoir’s impressionistic style. Alice and Elisabeth Cahen D’Anvers were the younger daughters of this banking family, part of French high society during the Belle Epoque. Their elder sister Irene was the subject of an earlier Renoir painting. Nothing in the portraits of the sisters indicate that 60 years later Alice would be hiding from German bombers in Normandy, and Elisabeth would be on a train to Auschwitz. The book traces their paths from Paris’s gilded salons to their struggle in Nazi-occupied France.
