Episode 2: Selma van de Perre
from Rebel Women Podcast Hosted by Ana Heermann
This week's Woman du Jour is the life of Dutch Jewish Resistance fighter, Selma van de Perre, née Velleman. In this episode, I delve into her life as a young, 20 something woman who works as a courier for those fighting the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, and is eventually captured and sentenced to prison in the infamous Ravensbrück concentration camp that was the only all female concentration camp. Her story makes up one of many women at the time that fought in ways people couldn't have imagined at that time (women in France couldn't even vote!).
