Edith Stein - The Sisters of the Convent

The final words recorded the sisters of the convent by edith are, come, let us go for our people from here. Edith stein went among the women like an angel, comforting, helping and consoling them. Every time i think of her in the barracks, the same picture comes to mind, a pieta without the christ. It was edith stein's complete calm and self possession that marked her out from the rest of the prisoners. There was a spirit of indescribable misery in the camp. The new prisoners especially suffered from extreme anxiety. She hardly ever spoke, but often she would look at her sister rosa with a sorrow beyond words.
