and political world. Biography of Henry Dunant Between 2005 and 2009, after writing a film script with Claude Goretta on the life of Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross (the film was not made), she published a biography of the humanist in 2010. The book was published at the Perrin editions. The biography recalls the positive and negative aspects of the man, so as not to constitute just another hagiography according to the author's own words. Thus it does not forget the failings of the man, a notorious snob and megalomaniac, which she describes as the reverse side of his qualities. Historical essay on Kristallnacht One of her essays published in 2015 portrays the murder of Ernst vom Rath, which served as an excuse for the Nazis to start the pogroms against the Jews known as Kristallnacht. She confronts the different versions to explain the murderer Herschel Grynszpan's motives.
