Edith Stein: Jew, Athiest, Martyr, Saint

by Christian Feldmann

Later known as Sister Benedicta of the Cross, Stein was born to Jewish parents, became a Carmelite nun, and was arrested and transported to Auschwitz, where she died in the gas chamber. Feldman's vivid prose paints a portrait of a fellow contemporary as contradictory and fascinating as our times.
