Simone Veil, a destiny 1927-2017

This exhibition tells the story of his extraordinary journey. For her and her family, the 20th century is first of all that of a tragedy: the deportation to Auschwitz, with her mother and sister, where she discovers the absolute horror. She will be saved by this courage that marks the entirety of her career, whose stages belong to contemporary French history: health policy and abortion reform, commitment for Europe, the tireless fight for the cause of women everywhere in the world, the memory of the Shoah so that the unimaginable is never forgotten...

Deported at 16 and a half to Auschwitz, Minister of Health behind the legalization of abortion, president of the European Parliament, immortal at the French Academy, this emblematic figure of the women’s fight is one of the favorite personalities of the French and the fifth woman to enter the Pantheon.
