Did the Musée de l'Orangerie make a spelling error in the name of a Holocaust victim in the provenance of this Cézanne?
Max Silberberg was a Jewish art collector in Breslau murdered by the Nazis.
Is he the same person as "Silbergerg" in the provenance text of "Fruits, serviette et boîte à lait" by Paul Cézanne?
