"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 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."--Jacket.

Work Description
Het verstoorde leven is een boek met dagboekfragmenten van Etty Hillesum. In haar dagboek verwoordde ze haar persoonlijke, innerlijke ontwikkeling te midden van de turbulentie van de Tweede Wereldoorlog en de absurditeiten van de holocaust. Het boek is niet alleen een sterk persoonlijk document, maar geeft ook enig inzicht in de wijze waarop de anti-Joodse maatregelen en deportaties in die jaren op Joden zelf zijn overgekomen.
