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

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--Edith’s name in religion--shows how the saint’s heroic life and penetrating insights can still speak to us today.
