Herman Heijermans
Died in 1924
Herman Heijermans was born in Rotterdam on 3 December 1864, the fourth of eleven children in a liberal Jewish family. At first a drama critic with a feared pen, he soon wrote his own plays, almost all premiered from 1898 by an Amsterdam company with idealistic ambitions, and also produced novels and sketches. His theatre depicts working-class milieus: Jewish ragpickers, fishermen or miners. He died in Zandvoort on 22 November 1924, aged fifty-nine.
