Etty Hillesum is thoroughly recognizable. Independent, "liberated" in the modern sense, sophisticated, she lives with friends in a communal household, studies psychology and literature, has lovers, sees an analyst. Jewish by birth, she feels no strong religious affiliation. She could be any contemporary twenty-seven-year-old woman, but in fact Etty Hillesum lived in Amsterdam and kept her journals in the dark years from 1941 to 1943, years of occupation and genocide. And, despite all the accounts we have of the Nazi era, the diaries of this startlingly modern young woman - the adult counterpart of Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl - speak to us of that period in a voice we have never heard before.
