Until then, being Jewish in the Netherlands had been of no consequence. But by 1941 this simple fact had become a matter of life or death. Several times, Selma avoided being rounded up by the Nazis. Then, in an act of defiance, she joined the Resistance movement, using the pseudonym Margareta van der Kuit. For two years 'Marga' risked it all. Using a fake ID, and passing as Aryan she travelled around the country delivering newsletters, sharing information, keeping up morale - doing, as she later explained, what 'had to be done'. In July 1944 her luck ran out. She was transported to Ravensbruck women's concentration camp as a political prisoner. Unlike her parents and sister - who, she would later discover, died in other camps - she survived by using her alias, pretending to be someone else. It was only after the war ended that she was allowed to reclaim her identity and dared to say once again: My name is Selma. Now, at ninety-eight, Selma remains a force of nature. Full of hope and courage, this is her story in her own words. ---Source other than Library of Congress. 546 $a Translated from the Dutch. 600 10 $a Perre, Selma van de, $d 1922- 610 27 $a RavensbruÌck (Concentration camp) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00723827 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Personal narratives. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $z Netherlands. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Jewish resistance $z Netherlands. 650 7 $a Autobiographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822593 650 7 $a Holocaust survivors $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 $a Jews $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 $a Netherlands $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204034 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Personal narratives $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 $a Personal narratives $v Dutch. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424100 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Personal narratives $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Tetley-Paul, Alice, $e translator. 700 1 $a Asbury, Anna, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220209010111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F17DED4C897511EC94F7A2945EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
