Etty Hillesum: Essential Writings (modern Spiritual Masters) [Paperback]

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.
