Reading Etty Hillesum in Context

Writings, Life, and Influences of a Visionary Author

Herausgeber: Oord, Gerrit; Smelik, Klaas A. D.; Wiersma, Jurjen

Beschreibung

The diaries and letters of Etty Hillesum (1914-1943) have a special place among the Jewish-Dutch testimonies of the Shoah, so much so that Etty Hillesum studies has become its own field. This book offers the most important contributions from the past fifteen years of international research into Hillesum's work and life, studying her ethical, philosophical, spiritual, and literary existential search.
