FRANCE-POLITICS-CULTURE-VEIL
French Simone Veil (R), an Auschwitz survivor and the first elected president of the European parliament, speaks with Academicians in the library of the Institut de France (French prestigious Arts and Sciences Institution which includes five academies) before a ceremony as she joined today the prestigious Academie Francaise, the guardian of the French language, on March 18, 2010 at the Institut de France in Paris. The 82-year-old Veil, a former French minister who ranks among the country's most respected politicians, is only the sixth woman to join the 40 "immortals". Dressed in the members' traditional green uniform, designed specially for her by Chanel, Veil was presented with the ceremonial sword bearing the inscription "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity". Veil's tattooed Auschwitz prisoner number, 78651, was also engraved on her sword. AFP PHOTO / POOL / PHILIPPE WOJAZER
