Etty Hillesum: A Life Transformed

Etty Hillesum was a young Jewish woman living in occupied Amsterdam in the 1940s who chronicled both what was happening around her, and her own deepening spiritual life and refusal to hate or to hide.  
Patrick Woodhouse introduces her story, her thinking, what we might learn from it today, and reads from her writings.
