Anmerkungen
De Jong 664 (erroneously mentioning 1913 and 1944 as the resp. fictitious and actual date of publication). Very rare clandestine publication written by Etty Hillesum in camp Westerbork (from where she was deported to Auschwitz in 1943) describing life in the camp in a very penetrating way. Published for the benefit of the resistance.
