Etty_Hillesum

Using only Etty Hillesum’s words, Susan Stein’s adaptation brings us to 1943 when Etty, a young Jewish woman, is about to be deported out of Holland. As she prepares for the three day journey eastward, she digs deeper into her soul to understand this piece of history and root out any hatred or bitterness, believing that humanity is the best and only king4exam solution for survival. Etty’s words, insights and beliefs reach out from the Holocaust and allow us to see the power of hope and individual thought in the most extreme circumstances. This program is part of Women’s History Month and the exhibit on Women and the Holocaust now showing in Karpen Lobby. windows8productkey (This date was listed incorrectly in the newspaper as March 25.
