Ignatian Retreat: Etty Hillesum & the Way of Dialogue

Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish woman, set out in search of a more integrated and productive life in the context of the Nazi occupation of her homeland. Her inner search challenged her to find a way of meeting uncertainty, restriction and aggression without being driven into hostility and fear.
