The true story of four young Hungarians seeking inner direction at a time of outer upheaval, the holocaust. The intense experience depicted in this book provides them with new direction and hope.
In the darkest hours of World War II, these friends, three of them Jewish, seek orientation and meaning in their shattered lives. During seventeen months, one of them, Hanna Dallos, delivers oral messages which Gitta Mallasz and Lili Strausz record in their notebooks. These messages, or teachings as they came to be known, end abruptly with the deportation of Hanna and Lili to Ravensbrück in December of 1944.
Gitta Mallasz, the only survivor of the quartet, first published the notes in France in 1976. The dialogues document an extraordinary light-filled spiritual resistance in the midst of Nazi darkness and barbarous cruelty.

Über Autor(innen)

Gitta Mallasz always rejected any notion of ’authorship’ for this book, saying, “I am merely the ’scribe’ of the angels.” Born in 1907 in Austria, she arrived at age 15 in Budapest, where she gained fame as a champion swimmer. She went on to study art and subsequently pursued a successful career as a graphic artist. In 1960, she emigrated to Paris where, after years of silence, the story of this extraordinary encounter was finally published. The original Hungarian documentation has been translated into numerous languages, touching hundreds of thousands of readers. Gitta Mallasz died in 1992.
