The biography of a fascinating cultural hero, Rene Blum and the
Ballets Russes uncovers the events in the life of the enigmatic and
brilliant writer and producer who perished in the Holocaust.
Brother of Leon Blum, the first socialist prime minister of France,
Rene Blum was a passionate and prominent litterateur. He was the
editor of the chic literary journal Gil Blas where he met such
celebrated figures as Claude Debussy, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard
Vuillard, Andre Gide, and Paul Valery. As author Judith
Chazin-Bennahum's research illustrates, Blum actually arranged for
the publication of Proust's Swann's Way. But Blum's accomplishments
and legacy do not end there: after enlisting in World War I, he won
the Croix de Guerre and became a national hero. And Blum
resurrected the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo after Diaghilev's
death. Tragically, he was arrested in 1941 during a roundup of
Jewish intellectuals and ultimately sent to Auschwitz.
