Her father, Wolfgang Arnezeder, is Austrian (and Catholic). Her mother, Piera (Schinasi), is an Egyptian Jew. She is from the Italian Jewish Schinasi family, a Sephardi family from Livorno, Tuscany, on one side, and of Russian Jewish descent on the other. Nora’s great-grandparents moved to Alexandria before WWI.

She is a relative of painter Daniel Schinasi.

Nora’s maternal grandfather was the son of Albert Schinasi and Céline Jabès. A photo of Céline can be seen here.

Nora’s maternal grandmother is named Aimee Abecassis (possibly born as Aimee Nahmias, the daughter of Berthe Lazarowitch). Berthe was born in Egypt, to Russian Jewish parents. A picture of Berthe can be seen here.

    She is very beautiful. What I find interesting is that her mother is an Egyptian Jew. I knew about the Jews in Biblical times but I wouldn’t have thought there would be many Jews in Egypt in modern times. Something to read about. How fascinating.

      the most north african jews incl. egyptian are of iberian heritage (sephardi jews). that means they are from south european (spain, portugal, italy…) they were expelled from spain during the time of “reconquista” and moved then to countries like morocco, tunesia, egypt, turkey, syria, algeria etc.. but there are also jews who never left egypt since biblical times.
      myself I am sephardi jew.
