Hannah Szenes (1921-1944): Heroína y poetisa

Abstract

The article provides us with a description of Hannah Szenes, emphasizing the two aspects of her life which have made her famous: as a heroine of the Resistance in the Second World War who has become a symbol of devotion to and sacrifice; and as a poet who wrote very little but is recognised for the value of her testimony and her popularity. Here we have the Spanish translation of the 19 poems originally written in Hebrew and also one originally in Hungarian (the translation is from the Hebrew version of Avigdor Hameiri).
