CAT #101

A German Jewish philosopher who lived from 1891 to 1942, she was born into a Jewish family, and as a young girl was impressed by the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, which inspired her conversion to Catholicism in 1922. After joining the Carmelite order and obtaining her master's degree, she taught and lectured in Germany. In 1933, the new antisemitic German laws stopped these activities, and the Carmelite monastery moved to the Carmel of Echt in Holland for fear of being arrested if remaining in Germany. Nevertheless, they were eventually arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Auschwitz in 1942, where Edith died in the gas chambers.
