A powerful history of Jewish art collectors in France, and how an embrace of art and beauty was met with hatred and destructionIn the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps.In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.

Audio Book The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France with Free PDF EDITION!

Excellent, well-written, and richly informative.Here the reader is brought into the cultural lives of four wealthy and interconnected Jewish families located in France during the most tumultuous decades of the last century. One learns of the tension between living as a Jew in France and being accepted as true citizens (the Dreyfus Case, as prime example); the impulse by Jewish leaders to acquire culturally important artifacts; the hard lot of talented women in finding fulfillment within families dominated by men; the use of museums gifted to the French state to establish a sense of permanence and acceptance, and, finally, the often brutal end exemplified by the city of the mute, Drancy.Dr. James McAuley is a young historian of talent and insight. His book will win prizes.
