In love with this book, Pemmy’s Alphabet Book, made in 1942-5 in the Japanese internment camp Brastagi in east Sumatra. Though handiwork & books were banned, Mies Aalbersberg & other women embroidered the book as a birthday gift to Mies’ daughter Pem Hagers. Pem donated it to the Rijksmuseum in 2018
