Early life
Boltanski was born in Paris on 6 September 1944.[2][3] His father, Étienne Alexandre Boltanski,[4] a physician, was Jewish and had come to France from Russia, while Marie-Elise Ilari-Guérin, his Roman Catholic mother originated from Corsica, descended from Ukrainian Jews.[5] His Jewish heritage was a large influence in Boltanski's household.
