Edith Stine

The opportunity that Dr. Diane Traflett got to go visit Auschwitz and see what these Jews went through must have been incredible. After listing to this presentation I realized really how incredible the life of St. Edith Stein really was.

This is someone I never would have thought I could find interesting, however this story was like a book for me, I started writing the essay and I just couldn't stop. I found the part when she had to confront her mother about becoming a Carmelite nun very interesting. At this point I think she had her firmest belief in the thing that she was looking for all along, the truth. This is where she turned her life around. I found there was a lot more to her life then her conversion. She was really a great woman and made such a remarkable effect on so many people.
