beskrivelse:

The so-called "passport" photo taken in the doorway of the Cologne Carmel. A passport picture that Edith Stein (1891–1942) had to have taken for her passport (ca. December 1938-1939) before moving to Echt, Netherlands. Edith Stein, a German Jewish philosopher, converted to the Roman Catholic Church, became a Discalced Carmelite nun and took the religious name of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. On 7 August 1942, she was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and killed in a mass gas chamber.
