Short Biography
Irène Némirovsky (24 February 1903 – 17 August 1942) was a novelist of Ukrainian Jewish origin born in Kiev under the Russian Empire; she lived more than half her life in France and wrote in French, but was denied French citizenship. Arrested by the Nazis as a Jew under the racial laws—which did not take into account her conversion to Roman Catholicism—she died at Auschwitz at the age of 39. Successful in her day, she is now best known for the posthumously-published Suite française.
