Summary:

"Etty Hillesum was a Dutch Jew who died at the age of 29, leaving behind deeply moving, intellectually profound diaries and letters written during the last two years of her life under Nazi occupation. We only have these works because she threw them from a train on her way to the death camp, along with a postcard on which she had written: "The Lord is my high tower. In the end, the departure came without warning ̥We left the camp singing. Thank you for all your kindness and care." The Hillesum writings have deeply affected readers around the world, especially women. Two are Canadians - one the remarkable poet, Janice Kulyk-Keefer, the other a singular artist, Claire Wilks. This volume, We Left the Camp Singing, is their visionary responses to Etty Hillesum."-- Provided by publisher.
