A life turned upside down
Diary from 1941-1943 followed by the Letters from Westerbork
Etty Hillesum
Diary
From 1941 to 1943, in Amsterdam, a twenty-seven-year-old Jewish woman kept a diary. The result: an extraordinary document, remarkable both for its literary quality and for the faith that emanates from it. An unwavering faith in humanity even as it commits its darkest atrocities.
Leaving the Westerbork transit camp on September 7, 1943, from where she sent remarkable letters to her friends, Etty Hillesum died in Auschwitz on November 30 of the same year.
"I already know everything. And yet I consider this life beautiful and rich in meaning. Every moment."
"With great freedom, she poses all the questions of life, of love, of the relationship with God."
