Book Reviews of Etty Hillesum: An Interrupted Life the Diaries, 1941-1943 and Letters from Westerbork
Book Review: a record of inner life during dehumanizing times
Summary: 5 Stars
As the author of two books that deal with women's lives during the second world war, Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivorsand Where She Came From : A Daughter's Search for Her Mother's History, and someone who has thoroughly researched the Holocaust literature, I can attest to the unique qualities of this book. Etty's insistence on her right to an inner life despite the insanity of the external world closing in around her is an inspiration to those of us engaged in intellectual or spiritual endeavors in this far easier time. Her account of continuing psychotherapy as the Nazis made the rudiments of ordinary existence impossible is a testament to her passion for understanding herself and her world. Eva Hoffman's intrduction is superb. This is a book I return to again and again.

Summary of Etty Hillesum: An Interrupted Life the Diaries, 1941-1943 and Letters from Westerbork
For the first time, Etty Hillesum's diary and letters appear together to give us the fullest possible portrait of this extraordinary woman. In the darkest years of Nazi occupation and genocide, Etty Hillesum remained a celebrant of life whose lucid intelligence, sympathy, and almost impossible gallantry were themselves a form of inner resistance. The adult counterpart to Anne Frank, Hillesum testifies to the possibility of awareness and compassion in the face of the most devastating challenge to one's humanity. She died at Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of twenty-nine.Jewish Books
