about the book
Talking with Angels
A spiritual lesson for our time
Talking with Angels is the transcription of a spiritual teaching received during the Second World War by four Hungarian friends. For seventeen months, from June 1943 to November 1944, while the Nazis invaded their country and deported the Jews en masse from April 1944, Hanna Dallos transmitted during 88 interviews words that she said did not emanate from 'she. These words are transcribed verbatim by Gitta Mallasz and Lili Strausz. Three of them, Jews, will perish in deportation. The only survivor, Gitta Mallasz, a refugee in France in 1960, set about translating these interviews into French, a first edition of which was published in 1976, followed in 1990 by a second, complete edition.
Some are seized and enter fully into the 387 pages of the complete edition. Others need to acclimatize. Those can begin, like Juliette Binoche, with the first book of commentaries by Gitta Mallasz, “The dialogues as I experienced them" or by "The white source” by Patrice Van Eersel, which tells the story of the Dialogues.
The content of this spiritual teaching is rigorously delimited by the following works:
as well as the four "explanatory" books of which Gitta Mallasz is the author:
Gitta Mallasz and her legacy
Gitta Mallasz (wife Walder) born 21 June 1907 in Ljubljana (Slovenia), died 25 May 1992 in Tartaras, Ampuis (Rhône).
It was to her that the Angel first spoke on 25 June 1943. This was the beginning of an extraordinary spiritual teaching that would last every week for 18 months. The only survivor of the war, it was she who made it known with the publication of the book Dialogues avec l'ange.
It was in 1960 that Gitta left Hungary for France, carrying in a small suitcase the 17 notebooks containing the 88 interviews. As the sole heir to these dialogues, she immediately set about the task of translating them into French, with the help of friends. Yes, she knows: "this is a teaching of our time, which was not given for the pleasure of the four of us". Her task is to make them known - "not for the sake of a little 'angelism' with little wings, little putti in Baroque churches, but for this: Each of us has the chance, if we want it, to meet our kindred light here and now."
Gitta specified over and over that she was not the author of Talking with Angels but its scribe Talking with Angels, but as she repeated, "their scribe", she wrote several years after their publication, four books testifying to her experience with the angel. In the book "Petits dialogues d'hier et d'aujourd'hui" (English version not available),, she gives us her testament, so that the message which she relayed with great rigor can keep its integrity, as well as her recommendations for the groups that meet around the Dialogues.
The 4 messengers
The four Messengers who received this teaching, four friends in search of meaning in the face of the war ravaging Europe and the climate of anti-Semitism rising in Hungary:
- Hanna Dallos, the messenger, gifted with uncommon intuition, an artist and a great teacher
- Lili Strausz who taught relaxation
- Joseph Kreutzer, Hanna's husband, designer
- Gitta Mallasz, who had befriended Hanna at the Budapest School of Decorative Arts and who worked with the couple in the same studio
The spiritual experience of Dialogues with the Angel
This teaching addresses the depths of being and the difficulties we go through. It gives keys to transformation, spiritual life and awakening.
We live in a period of transition, decisive for humanity.

The Angel inspires the soul to fulfil its mission
What is the angel, if not the "everything possible" in U.S ! The angel is the highest level of self, he is our pole of light. He is our “evolutionary potential”, the personal guide in the invisible.
He is the ascending force that pulls us upwards, that connects us to the light, that allows us to renew ourselves, to look through the eyes of the Spirit, to hear the imperceptible. The angel knows that we are in perpetual change and aims at our future, our future, he inspires us to transform our obstacles into places of upward force. It gives us access to "without access". He pushes us towards "the open", to dare to risk freedom and trust. The angel accompanies and inspires the soul to accomplish its mission, from transformation to transformation, then it takes it back to its heavenly homeland. The angel is an awakener, an instructor, an initiator, a teacher.
Dialogues with the angel and religions
The Talking with Angels are above any religious divide, beyond all religions in the institutional sense of the term.
Bridge between sciences and religions in the light of the Dialogues with the angel
How could we take up, rethink and reconcile a number of knowledge and inner experiences of today, showing that they are not incompatible with each other. And that we can indeed live an experience of the order of Dialogues with the Angel, while recognizing the validity of a rational approach to the world.
