A strong addition to any spirituality or religious collection

The Holocaust cost the world many brilliant minds. "Etty Hillesum: Essential Writings" is a collection of writings from Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Jewish woman who through her short life did much writing, and even though it wasn't discovered until decades after her death, her voice rings profound a true. Gaining a strong spiritual side in her later years, Hillesum's work is presented and will give those with a spiritual focus in their lives much food for thought from a woman whose mind was taken from the world far too soon. "Etty Hillesum" is a strong addition to any spirituality or religious collection.

Etty Hillesum (1914-43), a young Dutch Jewish woman, died at Auschwitz at age 29. With the publication of her diaries and letters more than forty years later, her writings have emerged as a landmark document to the process of spiritual transformation. As a spiritual teacher and modern-day mystic, she could affirm, despite the war s horrors, that life was beautiful and God good, while serving as a 'balm for all wounds' in solidarity with the suffering and oppressed.
