René Wiener

1855–1939 (age 84)

Biography

René Wiener, bookseller born in 1855, curated a luminous shop in Nancy where he promoted both French literature and Jewish thought, offering his patrons respectful conversation and guidance as they selected volumes to enrich their minds.

He supported charitable efforts for the local community and helped sustain the Jewish cemetery in Nancy through quiet generosity, so it is fitting that he himself now lies within that sacred ground.
