Murdered at Auschwitz, Edith Stein has become a controversial figure in Jewish and Catholic circles. Some believe that her Jewishness makes it inappropriate to declare her a saint of the Holocaust; others find her canonisation a healing symbol. Members of both persuasions speak out in this volume.
Edith Stein''s murder at Auschwitz is a topic of intense controversy among members of the Jewish and Catholic faiths. Some observers, both Jews and Christians, insist that Stein was sent to the gas chambers because of her Jewish heritage and faith, and that it would be inappropriate to declare her a saint in the Christian religious tradition. Yet, others of both faiths find in Stein a healing symbol for our time of the atrocities committed against Jews in Christian nations during World War II. In this volume, members of the Jewish and Christian religious traditions speak to this deeply divided debate.
