Stéphane Hessel was a French writer, diplomat and political activist born in Berlin in 1917. He moved to France in 1925 and became a French citizen in 1937. In 1941, he joined Charles de Gaulle’s (1890-1970) Free French Forces, but he was denounced and arrested by the Gestapo on 10 July 1944, after returning to organise Resistance communication networks in France. However, he managed to escape from the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp.
In 1946, he became a diplomat. His first post in the United Nations gave him the chance to be a part of the commission tasked with editing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Throughout his career, he fought against injustice, denouncing the violence of the Israeli government, the treatment of undocumented immigrants and the more unpleasant sides of modern society.
He died in Paris in 2013.
