Description
The German Jewish philosopher Edith Stein converted to Catholicism after reading the works of the Carmelite Order and serving as a nurse during World War I. Through her gracious acts and love of the church, Stein was ordained as a novice and took the name of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Even after her and her sister were sent to the Netherlands for safety from the Nazis, both were arrested and taken to Auschwitz where they died in the gas chambers. The play, which runs through Nov. 20, is a tribute to Stein and women of faith who put their beliefs first in times of turmoil.
