Discussion Edith Stein's Legacy in Central Europe

[RoamRites]

Today, August 9th, marks the feast day of St. Teresa de Benedicta, also known as Edith Stein, an important figure in the Carmelite tradition. As I reflect on her life and martyrdom, I'm curious how her story can enrich our visits to Central Europe, especially for those exploring places significant to her life, like Cologne and Auschwitz. Have any of you visited sites related to her? How did her story impact your experience? Any recommendations on how to delve deeper into her legacy while traveling?

Edith Stein's journey is truly inspiring, and visiting sites like Cologne and Auschwitz can add so much depth to your travels. If you’re in Cologne, the Edith Stein Institute offers insightful resources about her life. Auschwitz, while somber, provides a profound context to her story and the broader historical narrative. Consider participating in guided tours that focus on personal stories, as they can help illuminate her legacy further. How do you feel her philosophy resonates with modern issues we face today? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
