Being Jewish in the Netherlands had not presented much of an issue, but by 1941 it had become a matter of life or death. While her father was summoned to a work camp, her mother and sister went into hiding but were betrayed and sent to Auschwitz. Perre took on an assumed identity and joined the Resistance movement, using the pseudonym Margareta van der Kuit. Transported to Ravensbrück, she survived by using her alias. -- adapted from jacket Perre, Selma van de, 1922- 12647 Perre, Selma van de, 1922- nli 12647 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Personal narratives 12648 Holocaust survivors Netherlands 12649 World War, 1939-1945 Jewish resistance Netherlands 12650 Jews History Biography 12651 Biography & Autobiography 12652 Personal Narrative (DNLM)D062210 12653 Autobiography (DNLM)D020493 11493 Biography (DNLM)D019215 Personal narratives. lcgft 6050 Autobiographies. lcgft 777 Biographies. lcgft 5221 Tetley-Paul, Alice, translator 12654 Asbury, Anna, translator 12655 .b170893078 ddc BOOK 28604 28604 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ B 2022-12-29 27.00 1 B SELMA 64078 2024-03-13 2023-01-10 2022-12-29 BOOK 1
