Essais Et Documents Ils ont relevé la tête

Memona Hinterman has always wanted to tell the stories of those like herself whose lives started out all wrong. Those who, sometimes in mid flight, came crashing down with broken wings. Today, with the help of her husband, Lutz Krusche, she recounts those lives. Among them, Georges Charpak, deported to Dachau in 1943, received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1992; Dominique Loiseau, widow of one of France's great chefs who died in 2003, and who is now head of his empire; Corinne, an unsung heroine who, though penniless, manages to survive from day to day and raise her two children. These honest portraits of survivors of the trials of life are an inspiration to us all to never give up. Memona Hinterman is a reporter with France 3. Lutz Krusch was a correspondent for a several widely read German newspapers as well as the prestigious magazine Der Spiegel in Washington, London and Paris.
