Teaser Tuesday: Chasing Portraits by Elizabeth Rynecki



My search for the lost and missing pieces was based on Grandpa George's memoir, and specifically a single line which mentioned Moshe's prolific production of more than eight hundred works. But it was one thing to see that in writing, and another to see numerous photographs of pieces for the war.

Chasing Portraits: A Great-Granddaughter's Quest for Her Lost Art Legacy by Elizabeth Rynecki. This memoir documents the author's search for paintings and sculpture her Polish great-grandfather created before he was killed by Nazis during the Holocaust.

Visit the Chasing Portraits website to learn more about the the book and upcoming documentary of this fascinating family story.



Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Books and a Beat, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.

  2. Wow... good teaser, and yes, that does sound interesting. Here's mine (which is probably the longest two-sentence teaser, ever) http://drchazan.blogspot.co.il/2016/09/teaser-tuesday-for-september-13-2016.html
