Irène Némirovsky was born in kiev in 1903, the daughter of a successful Jewish banker.In 1918 her family fled the russian revolution for France where she became a bestselling novelist, author of David Golder, Le Bal, The Couril of Affair, All Our Worldly Goods.During World War II, Irène Némirovsky was prevented from publishing when the Germans occupied France and had to flee Paris with her husband Michel and her two small daughters.In July 1942, she was deported to Birkenau and died within a month.In October 1942, just before being arrested by the police of the French Vichy government, Michel epstein entrusted
his daughter Denise a large leatherbound notebook. Denise had often watched her mother writing - in tiny handwriting to save ink and paper - in the notebook. She took it as a memento of her mother. The suitcase accompanied Denise and her sister elisabeth from one precarious hiding place to another.After the war, they couldn’t bring themselves to read the notebook; it was too painful.Many years passed, and Denise and her sister agreed they should entrust their mother’s notebook to an organization dedicated to documenting memories of the war, in order to preserve it. Before giving it up, Denise decided to type it out. She began the long, difficult task of deciphering the minuscule handwriting.Soon, she discovered that these were not simply notes or a private diary, as she had thought, but a violent masterpiece, a fresco of extraordinary lucidity, a vivid snapshot of France and the French; here was the exodus from Paris; villages invaded by exhausted, hungry women and children battling to find a place to sleep, if only a chair in a country inn; cars piled high with furniture, and left abandoned in the roads; the rich trying to save their precious jewels; a German soldier falling in love with a French woman under the watchful eye of her mother-in-law…Denise epstein sent the manuscript to the publisher Denoël and this, sixty-four years after her mother’s death.”*
