 Metroactive Books | Etty Hillesum
Hillesum went voluntarily to Westerbork in July of 1942, at about the same time a young girl named Anne Frank began writing her diary in the attic of a house a few miles away from Hillesum's home in Amsterdam.
HILLESUM, WHO aspired to be a writer, was so attuned to currents both within and without that she often suffered from overwhelmed senses; she describes feeling like a "soul without a skin." It is this receptivity that makes her observations so original and compelling.
Hillesum wanted to be the "thinking heart of the barracks." Her eloquence and candor, her expressive, questioning mind, are all wondrously present in her diaries and letters.

 Etty Hillesum: the healed life of a Dutch female mystic
Though Etty was also a woman of flesh and blood (and not at all negligent and slack in her sexual activities), the main focus of her life was spiritual.
Etty has turned into a radiant, loving woman, despite the circumstances that confronted her.
It would be wrong to conclude that Etty her religious feelings were strictly Christian or Jewish, though she definitely was influenced by biblical thought and though she always carried a little bible with her, even when finally going to Westerbork.

 Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum: Inscribing Spirituality and Sexuality
Although both Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum have received much attention, little has been done to understand how their otherness as women and Jews defined their cultural and personal identities.
For Etty Hillesum her focus is on how writing establishes a philosophy of life-a faith-that grows from a position of duality and paradox.
First of all, psychoanalysis is not a science, which makes these authors' approach to Anne Frank and Etty Hillesum's respective ordeals cheap enough, but even with that, it's an abomination to put two women who were victims of the Holocaust under such horrific, over-analyzed scrutiny.

 The Observer | Comment | We should not fear religion
Etty Hillesum, coming from no religious background, with a passionate love for sex, found herself with a no less passionate love of God.
The kind of religion that took hold of Etty Hillesum, however, is 'about responsibility to and for a foreign and transcendent presence'.
Rowan Williams suggests that Hillesum, in making her life 'a habitation for grief and for God' is making the most effective resistance possible both to a secular reduction of human life and 'a spirituality, in which religious symbolism itself becomes a fashion accessory for the post-modern self'.
