Némirovsky is best known for the posthumously published &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Suite française (Némirovsky)|Suite française]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Life and career==&lt;br /&gt;
Irina Lvovna Nemirovskaya was born in 1903 in Kiev, then [[Russian Empire]], the daughter of a wealthy banker, Lev (later Léon) Borisovich Nemirovsky. Her volatile and unhappy relationship with her mother Fanni Yonovna Margolis Nemirovskya became the heart of many of her novels.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iht.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her family fled the Russian Empire at the start of the [[Russian Revolution of 1917|Russian Revolution]] in 1917, spent 1918 in [[Finland]], and then settled in [[Paris]], where Némirovsky attended the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]] and began writing when she was 18 years old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1926, Némirovsky married Michel Epstein, a wealthy banker, and had two daughters: Denise, born in 1929; and Élisabeth, in 1937.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1929, she published &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[David Golder]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the story of a wealthy Jewish banker unable to please his troubled daughter.  It was an immediate success, and was adapted to the big screen by [[Julien Duvivier]] in 1930, with [[Harry Baur]] as David Golder. In 1930, her novel &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Le Bal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the story of a mistreated daughter and the revenge of a teenager, became a play and a movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;David Golder&amp;#039;&amp;#039; [[manuscript]] was sent by post to the publishing company Éditions Grasset with a [[poste restante]] address and signed &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Epstein&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. H. Muller, a reader for Grasset, immediately tried to find the author but failed, so Grasset advertised in newspapers for the author&amp;#039;s identity.  However, she was busy bearing her first child, Denise. When Némirovsky finally appeared as the author of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;David Golder&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the unverified story is that the publisher was surprised that such a young woman was able to write such a powerful book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she was widely recognized as a major author{{snd}}even by some [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] writers like [[Robert Brasillach]]{{snd}}[[French nationality law|French nationality]] was denied to the Némirovskys in 1938.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Némirovsky was of [[Russian Jews|Russian-Jewish]] origin, but was [[Baptism|baptized]] into the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in 1939 and wrote in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Candide (newspaper)|Candide]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Gringoire (newspaper)|Gringoire]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, two magazines with [[ultra-nationalist]] tendencies. After the war started, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Gringoire&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was the only magazine that continued to publish her work, thus &amp;quot;guarantee[ing] Némirovsky&amp;#039;s family some desperately needed income&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1940, Némirovsky&amp;#039;s husband was unable to continue working at the bank, and Némirovsky&amp;#039;s books could no longer be published, because of her Jewish ancestry. Upon the [[Nazi]]s&amp;#039; approach to [[Paris]], they fled with their two daughters to the village of [[Issy-l&amp;#039;Évêque]] (the Némirovskys initially sent them to live with their nanny&amp;#039;s family in [[Burgundy (region)|Burgundy]], while staying on in Paris themselves; they had already lost their Russian home and refused to lose their home in France), where Némirovsky was required to wear the [[Yellow badge|yellow star]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 13 July 1942 (three days before the start of the [[Vel&amp;#039; d&amp;#039;Hiv Roundup]]), Némirovsky (then 39) was arrested in front of her daughters as a &amp;quot;stateless person of Jewish descent&amp;quot; by policemen employed by [[Vichy France]]. As she was being taken away, she told her daughters, &amp;quot;I am going on a journey now.&amp;quot; She was brought to a [[Pithiviers internment camp|convoy assembly camp at Pithiviers]], and on 17 July 1942, together with 928 other Jewish deportees, transported to the Nazi concentration camp [[Auschwitz]], in Poland. Upon her arrival there two days later, her forearm was marked with an [[Identification in Nazi camps|identification number]]. She died a month later of [[typhus]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|last=Messud|first=Claire|title=Irene Némirovsky--Four Novels|year=2008|publisher=Knopf|isbn=978-0-307-26708-5|pages=ix–xix|chapter=Introduction}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 6 November 1942, her husband, Michel Epstein, was sent to Auschwitz and immediately murdered in the [[gas chamber]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Suite Française (Vintage Books, New York, 2007, {{ISBN|978-1-4000-9627-5}}) Appendix II, translator&amp;#039;s note.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rediscovery==&lt;br /&gt;
Némirovsky is now best known as the author of the unfinished &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Suite française (Némirovsky)|Suite française]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Denoël, France, 2004, {{ISBN|2-207-25645-6}}; translation by Sandra Smith, Knopf, 2006, {{ISBN|1-4000-4473-1}}), two [[novella]]s portraying life in France between 4 June 1940 and 1 July 1941, the period during which the [[Nazi]]s occupied most of [[France]]. These works are considered remarkable because they were written during the actual period itself and yet are the product of considered reflection, rather than just a journal of events, as might be expected considering the personal turmoil experienced by the author at the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Némirovsky&amp;#039;s older daughter, Denise, kept the notebook containing the manuscript for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Suite française&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for fifty years without reading it, thinking it was a journal or diary of her mother&amp;#039;s, which would be too painful to read. In the late 1990s, however, she made arrangements to donate her mother&amp;#039;s papers to a French archive and decided to examine the notebook first. Upon discovering what it contained, she instead had it published in France, where it became a [[bestseller]] in 2004.  It sold 2.5 million copies by 2008 and has been translated into 38 languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original manuscript has been given to the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Institut mémoires de l&amp;#039;édition contemporaine]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (IMEC), and the novel has won the [[Prix Renaudot]]{{snd}}the first time the prize has been awarded posthumously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Némirovsky&amp;#039;s surviving notes sketch a general outline of a [[story arc]] that was intended to include the two existing novellas, as well as three more to take place later during the war and at its end. She wrote that the rest of the work was &amp;quot;in limbo, and what limbo! It&amp;#039;s really in the lap of the gods since it depends on what happens.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a January 2006 interview with the BBC, her daughter Denise said, &amp;quot;For me, the greatest joy is knowing that the book is being read. It is an extraordinary feeling to have brought my mother back to life. It shows that the Nazis did not truly succeed in killing her. It is not vengeance, but it is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
Several reviewers and commentators&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.nextbook.org/cultural/feature.html?id=414 Nextbook: Behind the Legend&amp;lt;!-- Bot generated title --&amp;gt;] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070713004528/http://www.nextbook.org/cultural/feature.html?id=414 |date=2007-07-13 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/22/secondworldwar.religion | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Truth, lies and anti-semitism | first=Stuart | last=Jeffries | date=February 22, 2007 | access-date=May 5, 2010}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; have raised questions regarding Némirovsky&amp;#039;s [[Conversions of Jews to Christianity#To Roman Catholicism|conversion to Catholicism]], her generally negative depiction of Jews in her writing and her use of [[ultra-nationalist]] publications to provide for her family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Myriam Anissimov]]&amp;#039;s introduction to the French edition of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Suite française&amp;#039;&amp;#039; describes Némirovsky as a &amp;quot;[[self-hating Jew]]&amp;quot;, due to the fact that Némirovsky&amp;#039;s own situation as a [[Jews in France|Jew in France]] is not at all seen in the work. The paragraph was omitted from the English edition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The New York Times&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Ambivalence as Part of Author&amp;#039;s Legacy.&amp;quot; Rothstein, Edward. Oct. 21, 2008.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A long article in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jewish Quarterly|The Jewish Quarterly]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; argued that there had been an &amp;quot;abdication of critical responsibility in exchange for the more sensational copy to be had from Némirovsky’s biography&amp;quot; by most reviewers in the British press.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |last= Koelb |first= Tadzio |title= Irène Némirovsky and the Death of the Critic |date= Autumn 2008 |work= The Jewish Quarterly |location= London |url= http://www.jewishquarterly.org/issuearchive/article05e1.html?articleid=400 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20120907142852/http://www.jewishquarterly.org/issuearchive/article05e1.html?articleid=400 |url-status= dead |archive-date= 7 September 2012 |access-date= 13 March 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{clarify|reason=The emperor is naked, this words goulash makes no sense.|date=July 2021}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fire in the Blood&amp;#039;&amp;#039;==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007, another novel by Némirovsky was published, after a complete manuscript was found in her archives by two French biographers. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chaleur du sang&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{snd}}translated to English by Sandra Smith as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Fire in the Blood&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{snd}}is a tale of country folk in a Burgundy village, based on [[Issy-l&amp;#039;Évêque]] where Némirovsky and her family found temporary refuge while hiding from the Nazis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/21/books/review/Benfey-t.html?_r=0|title=In the Heart of the Country|last=Benfey|first=Christopher|date=21 October 2007|work=[[The New York Times]]|page=8|access-date=2 January 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
