The Camondo saga, from the Spanish Inquisition to the Nazi genocide, is not only a historical account retracing the epic tale of these great Sephardic lords. It is also a meditation on the solitude of a man abandoned by his wife, inconsolable by the death of his son, who devoted his life and fortune to reconstructing an 18th-century aristocratic residence in the heart of the Monceau plain, which has become the Nissim de Camondo Museum.
