Born into a Jewish family in Prussia in 1891, Stein studied philosophy under Edmund Husserl before she converted to Catholicism, took holy orders, and was ultimately killed at Auschwitz in 1942. Beatified as a martyr in 1987 and canonized as a saint in 1998, St. Edith Stein is best remembered as the “Holocaust martyr” and co-patroness of Europe.
