The Jungian inspired Holocaust writings of Etty Hillesum to write is to act

Within this fascinating new book, Barbara Morrill analyses the journal writings of Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish woman at the time of World War II, as she began analysis with a Jungian oriented practitioner in 1941. While Anne Frank is an inspirational figure around the world, little is known about Etty Hillesum, also from Amsterdam, who also kept a diary recounting her life and experiences during the turbulent period of the early 1940s. This book is a compelling example of how we can use Etty Hillesum's diaries and letters in the present to stand firm in the problems of our time. Being a Jungian- oriented Integral psychologist and professor, the author not only analyzes what Hillesum recorded in her time, she employs Hillesum's ideas to explain to readers what is going on in our time, and to describe Etty's own process of individuation and realization, encouraging others to "develop themselves!" This will be a unique volume of interest to Jungian analysts, analysts in training, as well as readers with an interest in the time period and concern about democracy and "our times".
