Summary/Abstract: The article is a short biographical sketch devoted to Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Jew murdered in Auschwitz, like Anne Frank, the author of the famous diary from the period of occupation and the Holocaust. In her notes, Etty Hillesum focuses on her work in the Amsterdam Jewish Council (Judenrat), being fully aware of the ambivalent nature of this institution, which helped the Nazi occupiers organize the deportations of the Jewish population to labor and extermination camps. After leav- ing the Council, Etty devoted herself to volunteering for those affected by war and persecution, which ultimately led her to find God.
