About This Item

London: Bantam Press, 2020. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white photos, corners & pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 215 pp. This is the story of Selma van de Perre who was 17 when the Second World War broke out. Until then, being Jewish in the Netherlands had been of no consequence. By 1941, it had become a matter of life or death. Selma avoided being rounded up by the Nazis, and joined the Resistance movement. Using Fake ID, passing as Aryan, 'Marga' travelled around the country delivering newsletters, sharing information, keeping up morale. In July 1944 her luck ran out. Selma was taken to Ravensbruck, the women's concentration camp, as a political prisoner. Her parents and sister died at other camps - she survived by using her alias. No one knew she was Jewish. After the war ended she could say her real name. Now 98 years old, Selma remains a force of nature, and this very special memoir brings to life her incredible unforgettable experience.
