«Het bittere kruid» is the chronicle by Marga Minco, published by Bert Bakker in hardback (93 pages, in Dutch).
With sobriety and distance, Marga Minco narrates the destruction of a Jewish family in the Netherlands during the Second World War: loss, farewells, and the struggle to survive. The account, valued as an exceptional human document, portrays the horror of the Nazi occupation without sensationalism.
The work, originally published in 1957, was awarded the Vijverberg Prize. The cover of this edition bears the '50 jaar' (50 years) mark.
It is suitable reading for those interested in Dutch literature and the historical memory of the Second World War.
