Kpfa - Talk-it-out Radio

Host Nancy Kahn presents part one of a two part series with Dr. Barbara Morrill, who provides a window into the intimate writings of Esther “ Etty” Hillesum.  Etty Hillesum was a Dutch author of a diary (abridged copy first published as “An Interrupted Life”) and letters from Westerbork during the German occupation of Amsterdam in 1941.  Dr. Morrill shares her personal journey to Amsterdam to walk in Etty’s footsteps and the outline of Etty’s short life. Part-one covers the evolution of Etty’s development as seen through her writings and letters as she learned to love, reflected on her struggles to meet her needs, focused on her own healing, and faced her imminent death during the Holocaust. Part two of this series airs on Sunday, November 17, 2019. Listeners are invited to call in to the show at 7:30 pm (dial 1-800-958-9008) to participate in this conversation. Barbara Morrill, PhD, is core faculty and former chair of the Integral Counseling Psychology Program at The California Institute of Integral Studies
