Conversation with Claudia Cabrera “Tender puentes: exilio y traducción” / “Building Bridges – Exile and Translation”

Claudia Cabrera (Mexico City, b. 1970) has been translating non-fiction and specialized texts from German since 1995, and fiction and plays since 2002. For several years, she has devoted herself to translating anti-fascist literature written in exile. In 2020, she received Mexico’s National Translation Prize for her translation of Arnold Zweig’s *Das Beil von Wandsbek*. Her new translations of Anna Seghers’ works written in exile (*Tránsito*, *La séptima cruz*, and *La excursión de las niñas muertas*) were published by La Cifra in Mexico between 2020 and 2024. In 2024, she was awarded the Goethe Medal in Weimar.
