 | Speeches 2002-2007
Simone Veil has spoken on very different stages and subjects, and before extremely diverse audiences. The speeches collected here represent only a fraction of her public dialogues: those given over the last six years in her capacity as president of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. Having written those last words, I must immediately correct myself: when our president discusses the Shoah, she is firstly and always Madame Veil, the Auschwitz survivor, matured and enriched by her French and international political experience, who speaks from the heart about her own memory and her own thoughts. Alone, the typed pages of these speeches doubtless lack her gaze, her gravitas, and the singular tone of her stories, which always pierce her listeners. | | Cliquez pour en savoir plus |  | Faustine
Coucou les amis ! Moi c’est Faustine Mangin, Simba pour les intimes ! Vous saurez pourquoi plus tard. Parce qu’ici et maintenant, « beer and cow », « in mein » journal intime, vous êtes conviés à mon anniversaire, « my beurre day »à moi « in back stage » ! :-)C’est en décembre 2007 que naît ce pari amusant de créer une nouvelle autour de Faustine, une ado un peu barrée, maîtrisant davantage les emoticones, MSN et l’autodérision que les langues étrangères. Soumise aux appréciations des lecteurs du blog, l’histoire a évolué suivant leurs commentaires. | | Cliquez pour en savoir plus |  | From Paris to Bergen-Belsen
Born in 1933, Jacques Saurel might well have known the fate of so many children of Jewish parents who emigrated from Poland between the wars: Auschwitz and the gas chamber. He owed it to his father that he initially had no problems with the authorities. As a volunteer for military service and then a prisoner of war, his father protected Jacques and his family under the Geneva Convention. But the Nazis were looking for hostages to deport. Thus, in early February 1944, Jacques, his older sister (the younger one was in hiding) and his little brother were detained with their mother for three months in the Drancy internment camp, before being deported to the “Star Camp”, Bergen-Belsen. It was in turn to their mother that the children owed their survival. If they enjoyed “privileged” conditions because the Nazis wanted to use her as a bargaining chip, these children would never have survived without the moral support and sacrifices of their mother. All the more so because living conditions, already harsh, worsened from the autumn of 1944 with the influx of survivors evacuated from the camps further east. With its organization falling apart, Bergen-Belsen became a veritable death camp riddled with famine and epidemic disease. Jacques and his family regained their freedom after experiencing in April 1945 the agonies of the refugee “Ghost Train” on which half the 2,000 Jews evacuated from the Star Camp lost their lives. Jacques and his sister were stricken with typhus. They were reunited with their father at Paris’s repatriation centre in the Hotel Lutetia on June 23, 1945. Although they survived, the same could not be said for other members of the family: no trace of those living in Poland; in France, Jacques lost his paternal grandparents, three uncles, two aunts and six cousins. From this confrontation with horror at such a young age, escaping he still does not know how, Jacques conceived one great passion: life itself. | | Cliquez pour en savoir plus |
