Anne Frank And Etty Hillesum

Inscribing Spirituality And Sexuality

BY DENISE DE COSTA

Brief Description:
De Costa approaches Anne Frank largely from a psychoanalytical perspective and emphasizes the act of writing as a function in the development of adolescent self-identity. For Etty Hillesum her focus is on how writing establishes a philosophy of life-a faith-that grows from a position of duality and paradox. The author's assessments of the written legacy of two victims of genocide makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how the Holocaust affected individual lives.
