A guide to Old Towne Orange
Etty Hillesum’s life ended at Auschwitz when she was only 29 years old. In the play “Etty,” drawn entirely from Etty’s diaries and letters of 1941-1943, we meet this remarkable young Dutch woman. Seeking the meaning of life during the terror of the Nazi occupation, Etty discovers prayer and 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.
