Etty Hillesum was a Dutch Jewish writer and diarist whose writings offer profound insights into her experiences during World War II. Her diaries, written during her time in hiding and ultimately her internment, reflect her spiritual and philosophical reflections on the horrors of war and her enduring faith. Hillesum's work has been recognized for its depth and emotional resonance.
