Olive Dehn, poet deported by the Nazis22 Jun 2006
In 1933 Olive Dehn was just 19 and staying with her aunt in Germany when one of her poems was intercepted at the German border on its way to Punch in London.

It was regarded as so dangerously subversive that the Gestapo arrived to arrest her. She was deported from the country under armed guard. Now aged 91 Olive's collected poems have been published together for the first time - to sit alongside those of her brother, the well established poet and critic Paul Dehn.

"Out of My Mind" by Olive Dehn, ISBN 095502806X
