Having viewed the Frida Kahlo exhibit today (Brooklyn Museum) I just tried to verify that she did/not have Jewish roots. This is what I was able to find: A 2005 book, by Gaby Franger and Rainer Huhle, traced Kahlo’s genealogy, and stated that despite the legend propagated by Frida, Guillermo did not have Jewish Hungarian roots, but was born to Lutheran parents who came from families accommodated in Frankfurt and Pforzheim. He attended the University of Nuremberg. As your entry states that her father’s mother was Jewish, do you have verification of this? Thank you
