This month, step into the shoes of Hilda Bernstein, anti-Apartheid activist and writer, as she recounts the horrors of the 1963-4 Rivonia Trial in her memoir The World That Was Ours. Join Victoria and Katherine as they unpack how memoirs function as historical source, become fans of Nelson Mandela (60 years late), and maybe get a little emotional about the details. We’re not crying, you’re crying!
