Book Summary
Murdered at Auschwitz, Edith Stein has become a figure of controversy in the Jewish-Catholic dialogue. Some observers, both Jews and Christians, insist that Stein was sent to the gas chambers because of her Jewish blood and that it would be inappropriate, at least at this time, to declare her a saint of the Holocaust. Others find in her canonization a healing symbol after the atrocities committed against Jews in Christian nations during World War II. In this volume, members of both religious traditions speak to the issue. Contributors: Judith Hershropf Banki, Suzanne Batzdorff, Rachel Feldhay Brenner, Harry James Cargas, Eugene Fisher, Zev Garber, Freda Mary Oben, Daniel Polish, Emanuel Tanay, and Nechama Tec.
