More about the book!
Pan Macmillan invites you to the launch of The Knock on the Door: The Story of the Detainees’ Parents Support Committee by Terry Shakinovsky and Sharon Cort.
John Perlman will be in discussion with Terry Shakinovsky, Audrey Coleman, Paul Mashatile and Daphne Mashile-Nkosi.
The DPSC helped to draw international attention to the atrocities being perpetuated against children – some as young as nine – by the apartheid state. And the evidence amassed by the DPSC helped to lay some of the groundwork for South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
