Martin Sixsmith is a renowned British writer and broadcaster, predominantly associated with the BBC. Martin comes to the festival to talk about his latest book "My Sins Go With Me".
During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anna-Maria van der Vaart was a beacon of hope, providing shelter to Allied pilots and Jewish refugees, and engaging in resistance activities. Despite the collaboration of many Dutchmen with the Nazis and the betrayal of Jewish neighbours, the Dutch Resistance displayed extraordinary heroism.
Anna-Maria’s story, filled with bravery and betrayal, was uncovered by Martin Sixsmith through extensive research and interviews, leading to his book “My Sins Go with Me,” a narrative of courage in the face of adversity.
