Nora Arnezeder is a French actress and singer. She has starred in the films Army of the Dead, The Words, and Paris 36.

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/Romanian 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, who were Sephardi Jews. A photo of Céline can be seen here. Albert may have been from Damascus, Syria. Céline was born in Cairo, Egypt, the daughter of Joseph Jabès and Fortunée Gallico.

Nora’s maternal grandmother is named Aimee Abecassis (possibly born as Aimee Nahmias, the daughter of Berthe Lazarowitch/Lazarovitz). Berthe was born in Egypt, to Russian Jewish parents. A picture of Berthe can be seen here. Berthe was born in Odessa, now Ukraine, the daughter of Zindel Lazarovitz, who was a Romanian Jew.
