Ein ergreifendes Zeugnis innerer Reifung zum Glauben an das Gute im Menschen und gestärkt von Zuversicht und Gottvertrauen im Angesicht des bevorstehenden Todes: die nach vierzig Jahren entdeckten Tagebücher einer knapp dreißigjährigen holländischen Jüdin, die in Auschwitz ermordet wurde. Ihre Tagebücher sind inzwischen in elf Ländern erschienen und zu einem vielbeachteten Dokument der Menschlichkeit geworden. Unter dem Titel „Das gestörte Leben“ wurde nach diesen Aufzeichnungen ein Fernsehfilm gedreht.

Work Description
"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.""--BOOK JACKET.
