Autorenporträt
Jacqueline Passman taught in both mainstream and deaf education. She acted as an Independent Person in adjudication for children in care, and as an expert witness regarding deaf issues. The discovery of her father Harry Silman's wartime diary sparked her recent interest in the experiences of POWs in the Far East, and she gives regular illustrated talks on this subject.
