Conversion of Edith Stein

One Fateful Day Edith Stein took from a friend's bookshelf the autobiography of Saint Teresa of Avila. In it she found the simple truth about human existence. Shortly afterward, she became a Catholic, but her desire to become a Carmelite like Teresa was delayed for some time. Eventually she entered the convent in Cologne. Because the Nazi persecution of Jews, converted or not, endangered others in her convent, she asked to be moved to a convent in the Netherlands. The German armies of occupation soon followed. It was from the Carmelite convent at Echt that she was taken in 1942, shipped to Auschwitz and executed Book jacket.Gaboriau, Florent is the author of 'Conversion of Edith Stein' with ISBN 9781587311253 and ISBN 1587311259.
