Interrupted Life

This body of work reveals the interior life of a brilliant young Jewish woman. Born in January 1914, Etty Hillesum began her diary in 1941, nine months after Hitler invaded her home country of the Netherlands. The record she kept for the next two years contains arresting personal reflections and chronicles her social, intellectual, and - most significantly - spiritual growth. In addition to her ongoing search for God and truth, one of the most noted and instructive features of Etty's development was her recognition of, and her struggle to overcome, the disorder within her own being. It was her success in finally transcending her own sense of captivity within that allowed her to rise above cruel and fearsome circumstances without. Indeed, in the midst of the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust, Etty's writings reveal a woman who celebrated life and remained an undaunted example of courage, sympathy, and compassion. Letters that she wrote to friends during her internment at the Westerbork transit camp poignantly describe the day-to-day horrors that the Jewish prisoners faced. Nonetheless, Etty's courage and determination remained strong, allowing her to rise above the hate around her and express her irrepressible faith in humanity. As she wrote in her last letter, thrown from the train that took her to her death at Auschwitz, "We left the camp singing."

Henry Holt Co.

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 midst of World War II. 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.

SEUIL

De 1941 à 1943, à Amsterdam, une jeune femme juive de vingt-sept ans tient un journal. Le résultat : un document extraordinaire, tant par la qualité littéraire que par la foi qui en émane. Une foi indéfectible en l''homme alors qu''il accomplit ses plus noirs méfaits. Car si ces années de guerre voient l''extermination des Juifs en Europe, elles sont pour Etty des années de développement personnel et de libération spirituelle. Celle qui note, en 1942, « Je sais déjà tout. Et pourtant je considère cette vie belle et riche de sens. À chaque instant. », trouve sa morale propre et la justification de son existence dans l''affirmation d''un altruisme absolu. Partie le 7 septembre 1943 du camp de transit de Westerbork, d''où elle envoie d''admirables lettres à ses amis d''Amsterdam, Etty Hillesum meurt à Auschwitz le 30 novembre de la même année.
