Le Monde has a new format. This makes it almost identical to Le Figaro. The revised format brings with it larger pictures, a new typeface and wider margins. The amount of space devoted to news shrinks.
In the culture section a review of an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. The article is illustrated by an etching ' Train of death' made by Leopoldo Mendez, a Mexican artist. The etching was published in 1942 at a time when the Holocaust was only just starting and there were as yet no eye witness reports of what was happening. At that time his view of cattle trucks and guards and smoking chimney could only have been imagined. Yet somehow he managed to conjure a scene that later, less innocent, generations would instantly recognize. A mystery ?
