"I find life beautiful, and I feel free. The sky within me is as wide as the one stretching above my head. I believe in God and I believe in man, and I say so without embarrassment. Life is hard, but that is no bad thing. 1/

[...] In fondo, il nostro unico dovere morale è quello di dissodare in noi stessi vaste aree di tranquillità, di sempre maggior tranquillità, fintanto che si sia in grado d’irraggiarla anche sugli altri. E più c’è pace nelle persone, più pace […]

Ultimately we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.
- #EttyHillesum, 'An Interrupted Life'
I never have the feeling that I have got to make the best of things; everything is fine just as it is. Every situation, however miserable, is complete in itself and contains the good as well as the bad."

#ETTYHILLESUM ON HER TIMES–AND OURS
"Everywhere things are both very good and very bad at the same time. The two are in balance, everywhere and always.
#EttyHillesum, Dutch Jewish author murdered in Auschwitz in 1943: " #Living & #dying, #sorrow & #joy, the blisters on my feet & the jasmine behind the house, the #persecution, the unspeakable #horrors: it is all as 1 in me, and I accept it all as 1 mighty #whole..." #Mystic #Endurance bit.ly/3GhnRJA

È appena terminata la puntata di Passato e Presente su Rai3, e finalmente è stata dedicata a #ettyhillesum. In questa #giornatadellamemoria è fondamentale. Vi invito a leggere quest’opera, un approccio diverso alla discesa agli inferi dei campi di sterminio, dove Etty giungerà consapevolmente.
Etty Hillesum, born in 1914, was a Dutch-Jewish diarist & student in Amsterdam during WWII. She believed in humanity even in the most trying of circumstances. Hate only feeds hate, she repeated in her many journals, ultimately we are all equal and must treat each other as such.

"Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world." #EttyHillesum #MakePeace #PrayForPeace
"The absence of hatred in no way implies the absence of moral indignation (1943)." #EttyHillesum

Di fronte alla tregua a Gaza, trasformiamo dolore in comprensione, sofferenza in dialogo, distruzione in speranza.

"Ecco la tua malattia: pretendi di rinchiudere la vita nelle tue formule, di abbracciare tutti i fenomeni della vita con la tua mente, invece di lasciarti abbracciare dalla vita".
Il #15gennaio 1914 nasceva #EttyHillesum, scrittrice olandese di origine ebrea, vittima della #Shoah a soli 29 anni.
Vandaag is het de geboortedag van Etty Hillesum. Jan Oegema onderzoekt in een 10-delige serie bijzonderheden in het proza van Etty Hillesum. Hillesums werk blijft actueel in de huidige tijd en ook weet men steeds weer nieuwe lagen in haar teksten te ontdekken. #EttyHillesum
