From The Consul General of France in Los Angeles, Julie Duhaut-Bedos: 
#WomensHistoryMonth: Professor Paula J Birnbaum from #USFCA presented at my German colleague's Residence @GermanyinLA the life of talented yet overlooked sculptor #ChanaOrloff : her Jewish family fled the pogroms in Mariupol, settled in Paris, where she started her career (with Modigliani!) fled to Switzerland in 1940, then Paris again and Tel Aviv. Such a fascinating life of exile, art creation and resilience through the difficult times of Europe in the twentieth century.
