Description
Paul Rosenberg is an important figure in the history of modern art. He was betrayed by the Vichy government and forced to flee France, leaving behind his Paris gallery. He saved his family but his artworks were seized by the Nazis and Rosenberg's legacy was eradicated. His granddaughter uncovered his story and covers his life as a member of the Parisian art scene and reclaims the family history.
