Meet Edith Stein : From Cloister to Concentration Camp: A Carmelite Nun Confronts the Nazis

About this book

She was a puzzling paradox of a saint. She was both Jewish and Catholic. A publicly acclaimed philosopher and a cloistered Carmelite nun. A pioneering feminist scholar and a devout martyr for an ancient faith. Meet Edith Stein. The Nazis murdered her in a concentration camp but they could not silence her. This compelling portrait of Sr. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross--Ediths name in religion--shows how the saints heroic life and penetrating insights can still speak to us today.
