Simone
Liebster, née Arnold, was born on August 17, 1930, in Alsace, where
she spent her childhood years. After surviving the period of Nazi terror
described in her book, Simone followed in the footsteps of her father, Adolphe,
specializing in fabric design at Mulhouse art school. In 1952 she graduated from the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead in New York and has since served as a full-time Bible educator in France. She married Max Liebster, a former concentration camp prisoner, in 1956. |
