Auschwitz victim Edith Stein named first Jewish born saint
Pope John Paul II canonized Edith Stein, calling her an eminent daughter of Israel and a faithful daughter of the church. He noted the ceremony as a gesture of reconciliation, and cited her life from Jewish family to Carmelite nun who died at Auschwitz in 1942. He recalled her remark about sharing her fate with her brothers and sisters. The pope credited Stein with a miracle by interceding to help a Brockton girl survive a Tylenol overdose years later.
