Etty

adapted and performed by Susan Stein

Event Flyer

Etty Hillesum’s life ended at Auschwitz when she was only 29 years old. In the play, Etty, drawn entirely from Hillesum’s diaries and letters of 1941 to 1943, we meet a remarkable young Dutch woman: insightful, determined, poetic, sensual.

 

Through the voice of actress Susan Stein, Hillesum speaks directly to her audience, frankly, and with compassion--even for the enemy. Seeking the meaning of her life--and all life--during the terror of Nazi occupation, Hillesum discovers a reality she calls God and opens herself to the power of being fully alive and present, bearing witness to the catastrophe unfolding around her.

 

In her gentle yet forthright way, Hillesum asks us not to leave her at Auschwitz, but to let her have a “little bit of a say” in what she hopes will be a new world.

How did you like the event?

   Obviously, being imprisoned for whatever reason has similar themes , but speaking about imprisonment after committing (violent?) crimes should not be in the same discussion with the Holocaust. That minimized and made light of why I attended the play as a Jewish woman.

How did you like the event?

   The panel afterwards was very interesting, however it ran a little long and it was also hard to hear some of the individuals. Mics should have been passed. At the beginning of the panel audience members should have been told how long it was going to be so they could leave if they didn’t expect to sit for another 45 minutes.
