Né allemand, Stéphane Hessel arrive en France à l’âge de 8 ans. Naturalisé Français en 1937, normalien, il rejoint les Forces françaises libres, en 1941, à Londres. Résistant, il est arrêté et déporté à Buchenwald, qu’il parvient à quitter vivant grâce à une substitution d’identité avec un prisonnier mort du typhus, puis s’évade lors de son transfert du camp de Dora à celui de Bergen-Belsen.
