In theaters since today, Simone, the journey of the century paints the portrait of a historical figure who has not finished inspiring us. And to push the inspiration even further, dive into the heart of her life as she told it.
These are therefore 3 fundamental works that are offered to you retracing the exceptional career of an even more exceptional woman.
And, of course, we start with his autobiography, A life (2007), in which she reveals herself whole, free and serene, in the first person. There, she tells us about her extraordinary destiny, from the time of the Holocaust to her life as a dedicated politician. A real epic that can only fascinate.
My Struggles: The Speeches of a Lifetime (2016) also talks about her exemplary life and what she fought for on a daily basis. From her family to her republican values, through her absolute devotion to the cause of women: it’s all there.
And then finally, Dawn at Birkenau (2019), the poignant testimony of her time spent in the concentration camps where she was sent at the age of 17, a shocking story that she co-wrote with David Teboul that will move you and make you aware – like it should be.
