Une Jeunesse Au Temps De La Shoah [Pocket Book] Veil

The idea of extracting from my biography the few passages that can be regarded as useful pedagogy towards the youth of today's day seemed seductive. Simone Veil. This educational edition brings together the first four chapters of Une vie and covers the period 1927-1954. What Simone Veil lived during these years – where she spent a childhood protected from the horror of concentration camps, then returned to "normal life" – without being able to share her experience with those who had not known her, is part of the necessary duty of memory of the younger generations. Source of reflections, her sober narrative is also a lesson of courage and hope.Annotated by Isabelle Hauser.In the annex: extract from Simone Veil's reception speech at the French Academy by Jean d'Ormesson; extract from the interview given by Valentine Veil to the magazine Elle.
