| Signage: | Edith Stein was born Jewish but converted to Catholicism in 1922. After obtaining a PhD, she worked as an academic and later became a nun. Due to her ancestry, she was gassed at Auschwitz in 1942. The Catholic Church canonised her as a saint in 1998 for her humanitarian work. The title includes her prison number and the title of her book, Finite and Eternal Being: An Attempt at an Ascent to the Meaning of Being. |
