Known as "the Rothschilds of the East," the Camondos were a Jewish family from Constantinople who made their home in Belle ?poque Paris. Despite being philanthropists and fixtures of high society, they endured antisemitism, and the world wars took a heavy toll on them. Invited to exhibit his ceramics at the Camondo house, the author The Hare with Amber Eyes wrote 50 letters to long-gone Moise de Camondo, resulting in these deeply personal reflections on assimilation, art, and the value of memory. Illustrated throughout with compelling vintage photos, the result is a unique dialogue across the decades.
