While it is true that in recent interviews Edith Bruck has insisted that she was actually born in 1931[1], it is also true, that in the very first sentence of her book Who loves you like this (Philadelphia: Paul Dry Books, 2001) Bruck wrote that she was born in 1932 (p. 3). Also on p. 56 she writes that her thirteenth birthday was approaching (in April 1945). See also the Italian edition Chi ti ama così. As for secondary literature, in Edith Bruck in the Mirror (2014), a PhD dissertation turned into a book, Bruck's year of birth is likewise given as 1932 (p.2). During his reaearch the author, Philip Balma, closely worked with Bruck herself who contributed a foreword.----Sappington (talk) 18:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You have your point, but I feel my sources are right. In the talk in Italian Wikipedia you can read I found a new source: a video of the proclamation of an 'honoris causa' degree she received at the University of Macerata. In the meantime, I am trying to reach out her to have her ID or some other official birth document. --Kar.ma 10:29, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have posted an answer on the Italian Wikipedia. I do not see it as a question of right or wrong, though. The year of birth she gave in Who loves you like this is certainly true in the context of the book, because it affects the reading of the book and its major themes. I am puzzled, because Bruck has, at least to my knowledge, insisted on 1931 as her year of birth only recently.---Sappington (talk) 18:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
