Hanny Michaelis
Hanny Michaelis (December 19, 1922 – June 11, 2007) was a Dutch poet.[1]
The daughter of Alfred Michaelis and Gonda Sara Swaab, both Jewish, she was born in Amsterdam.[1]
Her parents were sent to Sobibór in 1943[2] and never returned. She lived in hiding from 1942 to 1945.[3] After World War II, Michaelis worked for the Artistic Affairs department of the municipality of Amsterdam .[4]
In 1948, she married the writer Gerard Kornelis van het Reve; they separated in 1959.[1]
She was awarded the Anna Bijns Prize in 1996.[5]
Her work has a prevailing tone of melancholy, loneliness and despair, although her last collection of poems has a more vital tone to it and moments of humour.[4]
Michaelis died in Amsterdam at the age of 84.[1]
