Saint Edith Stein























Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

A Catholic convert, baptized on

New Year's Day in 1922.


Died in a gas chamber at

Auschwitz on August 9th in

1942.

I remember a Jewish friend of

mine telling me about her years

ago when we were kids.

You can read more about the

fascinating life of this modern

day martyr @ EWTN.
