Description
A Life is a deeply personal and candid account of Simone Veil's extraordinary life and career. Born in 1927, Veil recounts her childhood in Nice, which was cut short when she was deported to concentration camps at the age of 17.
Veil's experiences during World War II had a profound impact on her life, shaping her determination to make a difference through her work as a lawyer and politician. She fought tirelessly for social progress, including the introduction of a law legalizing abortion in France, and became a powerful symbol for women's rights around the world.
This translation of Veil's memoir offers a sincere and candid look at an unparalleled life of survival, selflessness, and public service. A fitting tribute to her legacy, it stands as a testament to her unwavering commitment to improving social standards and maintaining economic and political stability in Europe.
