In collaboration with New Dutch Writing we are proud to present our first event since the lockdown and what an event indeed: we are celebrating the book launch of Selma van de Perre’s English translation of Mijn naam is Selma.
Selma van der Perre has lived an incredible life. Aged 17 when World War Two broke out, she joined the resistance movement and was transported to Ravensbruck concentration camp in 1944. Unlike her mother and sister who both perished in the holocaust, Selma survived by using an alias. Her memoir My Name Is Selma tells the remarkable story of her recovery, which she shares at this very special event.
Selma will be in conversation with her co-translators, Anna Asbury and Alice Tetley-Paul (via Zoom). Amanda Hopkinson, a literary translator and now Visiting Professor at Manchester and City universities, will chair the discussion.
On the 17th an edited recording of this event will go live via New Dutch Writing’s YouTube channel, for which details will become available soon.
