«Une jeunesse au temps de la Shoah» is Simone Veil's memoir, published by Livre de Poche in paperback (187 pages, in French).
The text brings together the first four chapters of Une vie and covers the period 1927-1954. It recounts Simone Veil's youth: from a sheltered childhood to the horror of the concentration camps and the difficult return to normal life, in a sober testimony conceived as a duty of remembrance for new generations.
The work, published in 2010, bears the subtitle «Extraits d'Une vie» and comes from Simone Veil's autobiography, Une vie.
A book designed as a pedagogical tool, suitable for young readers and students approaching the testimony of the Shoah for the first time.
Simone Veil was a French magistrate, Holocaust survivor and politician. Deported as a teenager to Auschwitz-Birkenau and later Bergen-Belsen, she became a prominent advocate for human dignity and European reconciliation. As minister of health, she championed women's rights and is best remembered for the landmark 1975 law legalising abortion, known as the Veil Act.
