Life
Little is known about Me (i) el Herman van Campen. The Viennese writer Eugen Hoeflich traveled to Amsterdam in 1923 and described him in a diary entry as a writer who, alongside Israël Querido, came from the self-confident Jewish workforce of the Amsterdam diamond cutters. Van Campen became a librarian at the Algemene Nederlandse Diamantbewerkersbond (ANDB) union. He wrote reviews for the literary magazine De Gids . In 1921 he published an overview of current Dutch fiction.
Van Campen was married to Duifje Houthakker (1882–1942) and they had three children. During the German occupation of the Netherlands, van Campen was deported with his wife in 1942 and murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp .
