Edith Stein Denkmal

👍 This monument stands in tribute to Edith Stein, a beautified German Catholic nun who died in Auschwitz. The beautification was not without controversy add she was sent to Auschwitz because she was born a Jew and not for her Catholic faith. The statue depicts a sculptural ensemble of three female fi...
