Santa Teresia Benedicta a Cruce (Edith Stein)
Born and raised Jewish, Edith Stein converted to Catholicism following a period of spiritual dryness. She became a Discalced Carmelite nun, and she adopted the name Teresia Benedicta a Cruce. She was later killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz for her Jewish heritage.
Iconography: yellow badge; flower crown given to newly cloistered Discalced Carmelite; her book Kreuzeswissenschaft: Studie über Johannes vom Kreuz (The Science of the Cross: A Study of Saint John of the Cross). I also used the image of the scratched gas chamber walls as the background.
