About this Event

The Mare is based on the true story of female concentration camp guard Hermine Braunsteiner, the first person to be extradited from America for Nazi war crimes. How did she descend so quickly into evil, and why did her American husband stay with her despite discovering what she had done. “Extraordinarily powerful” – The Times.

Angharad Hampshire is an academic and journalist. She has a Doctor of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Sydney. The Mare is her first novel.

Content warning - The novel covers difficult and confronting content related to concentration camps and the Holocaust.
