eSefarad Noticias del Mundo Sefaradi
In Memory of Chalons Sebban (Carlos Seban), A”H, a proud Moroccan Sephardi born at Melilla and raised by his ‘abuela’ (a loving grandmother who adored him and spoiled him in Spanish and Haketia), survivor of the Vichy “labor camp” at Bedeau, Algeria, decorated veteran of WWII who fought in the famous battles at Monte Cassino, Garigliano, the Abruzzi, and in the Rhine and Danube Campaign, and lover of life with a keen culinary sense, who specialized in ‘petite friture’ (small fry), camemberts ‘à point’ (just so), and splendid recipes for ‘al dente’ pasta, way before it became ‘a thing’. His family always hosted the Pesah Mimouna and Carlos couldn’t wait to get a baguette and a camembert, which he loved to share with the more adventurous members of the family. He passed surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and close family friends. Until the very end, his wife Lucienne, herself suffering of mild Alzheimer’s, held his hand and assured him of her indefectible love.
