Etty Hillesun

Monday 26 Sept 2005
11:17 a.m.

I am reading An Interrupted Life, the Diaries of Etty Hillesum. Here are two excerpts from the introduction, written by J.G. Gaarlandt:

"Her God, in a sense, resides in her own capacity to see the truth, to bear it and find consolation in it."

"The first big street round-up took place in Amsterdam and voluntarily Etty decided to go with the trapped Jews to Westerbork. She did not want to escape the fate of the Jewish people. She believed that she could do justice to life only if she did not abandon those in danger, and if she used her strength to bring light into the life of others. Survivors from the camp have confirmed that Etty was a 'luminous' personality to the last."
