Having visited the Camondo Museum in Paris, having read Renoir’s book on his father the painter and now De Waal’s hare I can better understand what big art collectors mean to culture and why the Nazis tried to steal or destroy what was preserved with so much love and intelligence by Jewish cultured people.
I consider “the hare with amber eyes” the best book I have read this year.

I hope that DeWaal’s story will inspire others to weave their personal stories around their family objects before those that know the stories are gone.
