After reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila from a friend's library, Edith Stein, a 30-year-old Jewish philosopher, exclaimed, "This is the truth!" She was baptized in 1922 and later became a Carmelite nun, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. In response to World War II and the horrors leading up to it, she formally consecrated her life to atonement and to world peace. Though she fled to Holland during the holocaust, she and her sister Rosa were apprehended and sent to the gas chambers of Auschwitz because they were Jews. In addition to her intellectual brilliance, she is remembered for her warmth, kindness, and trust in God.

"Whatever did not fit in with my plan did lie within the plan of God. I have an ever deeper and firmer belief that nothing is merely an accident when seen in the light of God, that my whole life down to the smallest details has been marked out for me in the plan of Divine Providence and has a completely coherent meaning in God's all-seeing eyes. And so I am beginning to rejoice in the light of glory wherein this meaning will be unveiled to me."
--St. Edith Stein
