Collecting at Full Tilt
Ellen B. Hirschland
Nancy Hirschland Ramage
|
Over a period of fifty years, sisters Claribel and Etta Cone amassed one of the most acclaimed collections of late-nineteenth and twentieth-century art in America. Dr. Claribel and Miss Etta were two halves of an idiosyncratic team--Claribel bold and assertive and Etta reflective and sensitive--who used the fortunes of their German Jewish immigrant family t...
"The Cone Sisters of Baltimore is told with great flair and panache. Ellen Hirschland and Nancy Hirschland Ramage have a superb eye for detail, a taut and witty style, and a wonderful ability to turn a memorable phrase."—Christopher Lane, Northwestern University.

Survival in Treblinka

Glazar gives us compelling images of these horrors in a tone that remains thoughtful but sobe...
