By Shelley A. Sackett Verified| Jewish Journal (Boston) Verified Mention the name Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), and most people conjure images of sunflowers, star-filled nights and a severed ear. Few think of him as a portrait artist who channeled his longing for a family of his own into 26 sketches and paintings of a local Arles family. Even fewer realize the string of Jews that helped van Gogh achieve fame, albeit posthumously.

The book by Alfred Uhry (author of “Driving Miss Daisy”) is set in 1913 Atlanta and tells the true story of Leo Frank, a transplanted Brooklyn Jew and pencil factory supervisor who is married to his Jewish boss’s niece, Lucille.
