  The best documentary about Coco I&apos;ve come across, not romanticized. &nbsp;Thank you for sharing.

  I once saw a documentary about her which included interviews with her in her later years. She attested that she left Paris after the war &quot;because it was no longer interesting.&quot; Naturally, she made no mention that a large percentage of the French population wanted to shave her head and string her up.

  I love the irony of a Jewish family taking control over the entire brand in the end

  It&apos;s important to remember that the events here affected real people who are living today. The area in France where my mother was born was occupied by Nazis when she was 14. She saw jewish friends and neighbors taken off, first to Orléans then to extermination camps. Her family had been locally prominent in the previous century, but now was viciously divided between collaborators and resistors. After the war, she saw female collabotators stripped naked and forced to walk village streets while angry neighbors threw stones and filth at them. People she knew executed others she knew or knew of. She became a fashion model in Paris in the very early years after the war, before models were glamorous and widely known. She had a deep, abiding dislike and disregard for Chanel, always calling her a sell-out and traitor. Collaborators caused real harm among their countrymen.

  I never knew about her collaboration with the Nazis. That is certainly a blemish on her character. She was a gifted designer. It&apos;s too bad that some who are born into humble beginnings forget and become greedy and self-absorbed. People should never forget and keep their humanity. That&apos;s a far better narrative for history.

  Why are there not more photographs of Chanel?

  I didn&apos;t know about her collaboration. &nbsp;I&apos;m glad the Wertheimers regained control over the enterprise. &nbsp;Justice served to some extent.

  It seems as though in 2023, a &nbsp;lot of people have no knowledge of her <br>support of the Nazis.<br>It&apos;s kind of important to know more than just what&apos;s on the surface.

  Appears she was a survivor with flexible boundaries.
