Edith Stein (1891-1942) was a German Jewish philosopher who was baptized a Catholic in 1922, entered the Carmelite order in 1933, and died at Auschwitz in 1942. She was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II in 1998. In a letter to Pope Pius XI asking him to denounce the new Nazi regime, she described herself as “a child of the Jewish people who, by the grace of God, for the past eleven years has also been a child of the Catholic Church.”
