Edith Stein letter to Pope Pius XI.
The philosopher Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein at the time) took her last breath in Auschwitz concentration camp seventy years ago. Born to a Jewish family, she was baptised and entered the monastery of the Carmelite Sisters of Cologne. In 1939 she was in Carmel of Echt in the Netherlands and was captured in 1942 during the Nazi searches which were acrried out after a letter was sent denouncing the deportations. The letter had been signed by Dutch Catholic bishops and read out in all churches. Up until then, the Nazis had spared baptised Jews: about three hundred clerics of Jewish origin were captured.
In an article published by the Italian religious news service (SIR), Cristiana Dobner recalled that journalist Van Kempen managed to contact her in the sorting camp, noting that the woman was “spiritually great and strong.” She had no intentions of escaping and did not wish to be treated any differently to other Jews. “She told me: - I would never have imagined that people could be like this and… that my brothers would suffer so much! – When it was certain she was going to be transported elsewhere, I asked her if there was anything I could do to help (try to free her); …she smiled at me again and begged me not to. Why make her and her group an exception? It would not have been fair for her to be released just because she had been baptised! Had she not joined the fate of the others, her life would have been ruined: - No, no I cannot have this!”
Edith Stein insisted she had not betrayed her people by recognising Jesus as the Messiah. She was beatified by John Paul II in 1987 and proclaimed a saint in 1998. The following year she was proclaimed co-patroness of Europe. On 12 April 1933 Stein wrote a letter to the Vatican, addressed to Pope Pius XI. She sent it to the Cardinal Secretary of State Eugenio Pacelli via the Benedictine Arch-Abbot of Beuron Raphael Walzer.
On 9 August 70 years ago Edith Stein, the Jew turned Carmelite sister was being killed in Auschwitz concentration camp. In 1933 she wrote to the Pope about the Jewish persecution
