Description

Edith Stein's conversion was a pivotal moment in her life, one that had far-reaching consequences. In 2018, Florent Gaboriau explores this transformation under three distinct aspects: the conversion of a Jew, the conversion of a feminist, and the conversion of a philosopher. Stein's journey is marked by significant events, including her entry into a Carmelite convent in Cologne and her subsequent transfer to a convent in the Netherlands due to Nazi persecution. Her experiences ultimately led to her execution at Auschwitz in 1942. Gaboriau's account provides insight into Stein's conversion, shedding light on her unique perspective as a Jewish woman who became a model of sanctity. Through Stein's story, Gaboriau offers a nuanced exploration of faith, philosophy, and identity. Her words, as quoted by Pope John Paul II, reflect the depth of her spiritual conviction: "O my God, fill my soul with holy joy, courage and strength to serve You." This poignant passage captures the essence of Stein's conversion, a testament to her unwavering commitment to her faith.
