Biography
Born in Paris on 23 July 1936,[ 2] Hazan's mother was a Romanian Jew originally from Palestine ,[ 3] while his father, Fernand Hazan, was a Jew originally from Egypt and the brother of editor and librarian Émile Hazan [fr ] .[ 4] During World War II , his family took refuge in Marseille . After the war, his father founded the publishing house Éditions Hazan [fr ] . Hazan attended the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and joined communist activists,[ 5] as well as the National Liberation Front during the Algerian War .[ 6] He became a cardiovascular surgeon and campaigned for abortion rights in France .[ 5] In 1975, as a founder of the Association France-Palestine Solidarité [fr ] , he travelled to Lebanon during the civil war to work as a combat doctor.[ 6] He was a member of the Russel Tribunal on Palestine , which began work on 4 March 2009.[ 7]
In 1983, Hazan gave up surgery and became director of the family publishing business, Éditions Hazan.[ 5] However, he left management after the publisher was acquired by Groupe Hachette . In 1998, he founded the publishing house La Fabrique ("The Factory"), where the works published were primarily left-wing and historical or philosophical.[ 8] He allegedly only published works by his friends according to Libération , which included the authors Norman Finkelstein and Houria Bouteldja .[ 9] The Coming Insurrection , published, written by The Invisible Committee and published by La Fabrique was denounced by Minister of the Interior Michèle Alliot-Marie and led to Hazan's testimony in the Tarnac affair [fr ] .[ 5] He also wrote and translated more than twenty works, including those of Edward Said .
