Books:

Valaida Snow in literature

John Edgar Wideman (1989). “Valaida”. Fever: Twelve Stories. Henry Holt and Co. ISBN 978-0-8050-1184-5.

Valaida Snow appears as a fictional character who threw herself on top of the protagonist when he was a child to shield him from a beating at the hands of the Nazis in a concentration camp. Snow is depicted as a strong, generous woman who proudly recalls that “They beat me, and fucked me in every hole I had. I was their whore. Their maid. A stool they stood on when they wanted to reach a little higher. But I never sang in their cage, Bobby. Not one note” (p. 28).

Candace Allen (2004). Valaida. London: Virago. ISBN 978-1-84408-172-1.

A novel based on Valaida Snow’s life story.

Allen Talks about her novel-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRusbrXeoXM

Mark Miller (2007). High Hat, Trumpet and Rhythm: The Life and Music of Valaida Snow. Toronto: The Mercury Press. ISBN 978-1-55128-127-8.

Biography. Both the Allen and Miller books contradict the assertion that Snow was held by the Nazis and instead place her in Danish custody at a Copenhagen prison.

Pascal Rannou (2008). Noire, la neige. Marseille: Editions Parenthèses. ISBN 978-2-86364-648-9.

Inspired by Valaida’s life, but it is more fictitious than strictly biographical.

Valaida Snow, by Emmanuel Reuzé and Maël Rannou, comic strip, BDMusic, Paris, coll. « BDJazz », 2012.
