“Those who remain silent are responsible.”
Yesterday, Aug. 9th, was the Feast of St. Edith Stein (Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) who died in the Holocaust. Edith Stein grew up in a Jewish home, the youngest of 11 children, and received her doctorate in philosophy in 1915, despite the fact that women were not granted professorships at the time.
