A poetry collection by the daughter of a couple who fled Hitler’s Germany and were imprisoned in Russia and interned in England will be launched at the Poetry Cafe in London tomorrow night, Wednesday 2 May.

Poems from On Cigarette Papers will be performed by the poet, Pam Zinnemann-Hope, and by actors Anthony Schuster and Deborah Findlay. The poems – a story of love and exile, dislocation and survival - were written after the death of Pam’s mother in 1990, when she found a tiny pile of cigarette papers written in pencil, in Russian, in her mother’s hand.
