Korte biografie
Rosine Kauffmann Green was born in Paris, France, to Jeanne Tardivel and Gaston Kauffmann. She was forced to leave school when the Nazis invaded in World War II, and was tutored at home while her father went into hiding until the liberation of France in 1944. After the war, she came to the USA, where she lived in Chicago, Washington, New York City, and for more than 40 years in Brookline, Massachusetts. During this time, she founded Rosine Green Associates, a highly successful art restoration and conservation business, and became well-known for her restoration of works of art, especially Japanese and Chinese lacquer, oil paintings, and works on paper. She worked not only for private collectors, but also for the White House and historic houses. In 1951, she married Howard Green (1925-2015), a physician, scientist, and professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School from 1980-1993. After his death, she established the Howard Green Center for Children's Skin and Research at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston. She published her memoir, Recollections of the Second World War, in 2009.
