In addition to novels and short stories, Marga also wrote books for children and scripts for television. This splitting device allows Minco to show various ways in which the character copes with the burden of her survival. Een leeg huis is set just after the end of the war, and focuses on the young woman, Sepha, and her alter ego, Yona. In her subsequent novels, Minco continues to explore this theme. It was also adapted as a film by Kees van Oostrum in 1985. The novel was translated into several languages. It is considered her most autobiographical book and tells the story of an unnamed girl who escapes deportation to the concentration camps.
