Background
Michel David-Weill was born into a Jewish family on November 23, 1932. His father, Pierre David-Weill (1900–1975), was the chairman of Lazard Frères; his mother was Berthe Haardt. His great-grandfather, Alexandre Weill, worked at Lazard Frères, a firm co-founded by his cousins, Alexandre, Elie, and Simon Lazard.[2] In 1900, his grandfather, David David-Weill, was named a partner.[2] In 1927, his father became a partner.[2]
Aged 8, at the dawn of the World War II he fled Paris with his mother and sister to save themselves from Nazis.[3] Separated from his father, who was in New York City during World War II, David-Weill remained behind with his mother in occupied France. During the last year of the occupation, at age 11, he lived with his mother and younger sister in the French village of Béduer in southwestern France,[2] where they were baptized and raised as Roman Catholics (his father Pierre would later convert to Catholicism in 1965). Then he went to reunite with his father in New York City where he studied at the Lycée Français de New York with other war refugees such as Baron Pierre de Gunzburg.[4]
After World War II was over, he stayed in the United States to live in New York City with his family.[5] David-Weill was also educated at the Sciences Po Paris.[6]
