Everything about Henri Frans De Ziel totally explained
Trefossa, pen name of
Henri Frans de Ziel (born
Paramaribo,
January 15,
1916 – died
Haarlem,

Suriname. He is best known for the Sranan Tongo stanzas of
Suriname's National Anthem.
He was an educator and lived in the
Netherlands from 1953 to 1956. Upon his return to Suriname he was part of the editorial staff of the magazines Tongoni (1958-1959) and Soela (1962-1964). He also served briefly as the director-librarian of Suriname's Cultural Centre (Cultureel Centrum Suriname (CCS)). He subsequently returned to the Netherlands to work on the publication of Johannes King's memoirs.
Trefossa wrote primarily about the beauty of his native country, Suriname, especially as a source of peace to the restless mind.
He influenced many writers in Suriname, including
Corly Verlooghen,
Eugène Rellum,
Johanna Schouten-Elsenhout and
Michaël Slory, but the depth and subtlety of his verse remain almost unique.
On November 21,
2005, a monument was dedicated in his honor on the
Sophie Redmondstraat in Paramaribo. His ashes and the ashes of his wife, Hulda Walser, were also placed at the monument.
