About this Event
John Tepper Marlin (above left, speaking in Amsterdam's Resistance Museum, April 2024), translated Schaap's Dutch biography of Van Hall into English, and edited the translation where necessary to clarify the meaning for an English-speaking audience and help the reader appreciate the structure of the book. He also prepared 750 endnotes so that anyone unfamiliar with Dutch history or geography or language would have an immediate source for difficult references. He first learned about the Resistance from his mother Hilda van Stockum, who was second cousin to the hero of this book (their grandfathers Jan and Charles were brothers). Van Stockum wrote a popular children's book, The Winged Watchman (Farrar, Straus, 1962; reprinted by Bethlehem Books, 1995), in which Walraven appears as Resistance leader "Kees Kip." Dr. Marlin earned degrees from Harvard, Oxford, and George Washington Universities. He served as chief economist for three New York City comptrollers and was a federal government economist in Washington, D.C. under Johnson, Nixon, Obama, and Trump. He is a frequent speaker before alumni groups and other associations.
