5

8
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:41,840

yes this teresa benedict was here or too

right after christmas 1938.
15
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,840
what can you tell me about her
16
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,800
that's trump
17
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:39,920
how so
18
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,280
it is believed
19
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,360
there was a distinctive place in society for
women and another just as distinctive for men
20
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,840
not equal but but equally important significant
21
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,960
and that the two rested with
their own proper dignity and
22
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:16,480
grace can find harmony and
fulfillment in a climate of respect
23
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:29,840
may i quote you only if you quote me
24
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,120

25
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,840
such beautiful eyes
26
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,880
have you seen this photo before
27
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,080
i may have uh the news desk at
the times gave me quite a few
28
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,840
looking for edis means to be consequent young man
29
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:22,560
committed to the truth to the divine
wherever that commitment may lead you if not
30
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,360
are you trying to scare me off yes
i would be very afraid if i wear you
31
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:41,679
walking along the edge of a cliff you better
believe in gravity oh you have a sturdy pail fix
32
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:53,840
and uh what's the metaphor is god
the gravity or is he the wings
33
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:10,560
um i'm giving you the name of
someone who may teach you how to fly
34
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:21,840
erna bieberstein the last
surviving sister of edith
35
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,840
when we were young we four stein girls would
often sit here on the banks of this lake
36
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:41,040
staring into its depths so mystical so full
of magic as if we could glimpse the future
37
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,920
like many german girls of our age we
38
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,360
we felt that we were atop the
lower line looking out of the rhine
39
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:03,840
dreaming of strong fearless nights would
carry us off to the land of camelot
40
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,680
and that dream became a nightmare and the camelots
41
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:12,080
to which they would deliver
us were fortresses of death
42
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,160
i asked myself
43
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,160
where are those fourstein sisters so different
that that camelot should be a gas chamber
44
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:28,080
no
45
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,720
we were not like so many german
girls of our age not at all
46
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,840
you forgive the ramblings of an old woman but
47
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,960
you seem the type who understands your
memories seem to be without bitterness
48
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,800
how can you be bitter about losing
something which may have never been yours
49
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:04,000
i come here every now and then to remember
how things were before and to revisit
50
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,120
the dreams of those young girls full of life
51
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:14,080
girls are edith
52
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:21,120
we fled germany in 36 after mother's death
to paris and then on to kafka's america
53
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,840
peters and rosa stayed behind
54
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,240
tell me about rosa she was
devoted to either most devoted
55
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,840
now they want to make it the same
my mother would have loved that
56
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,480
your mother disapproved of edith's conversion
mother was so proud of edith in so many ways
57
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:56,320
her mind her education the way she excelled in
the world of men but her becoming a christian well
58
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,800
we were losing everything the third is
here in germany you see everything our jobs
59
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,720
our property our dignity our loved ones everything
60
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:20,560
and when a person loses everything michael
they cling to that which no one can take away
61
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:29,040
identity we were jewish and we would
never allow them to take that away from us
62
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,840
when i was contacted by your paper i
mimiographed parts of edith's diary
63
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,360
you had a diary in german of course but
they tell me you speak languages well a few
64
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:51,840
you will use this with this question
65
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,880
you have my word
66
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:11,120
thank you oh that was taken at pesa passover
1893 shows you how absolutely ancient i am
67
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
that's edith and i don't know the corner
68
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840
how many were you my mother had 11 children
69
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,920
four were lost at childbirth leaving
seven of us brothers and sisters
70
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,840
poor ano rosa frieda elsa anna and i
71
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:46,240
along with my beloved mother auguste and siegfried
the father who defined my youth in both laughter
72
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:55,360
and tears as a child i was small and frail
and despite all the care given me always pale
73
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,840
i rarely blushed except perhaps
when father was talking to god
74
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:09,920
i was entranced by the magic of that
god lord of israel by his statue
75
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,840
elohim
76
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,840
um
77
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,840
is
78
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:11,840
for me at that young age in those first
years of living father could do no wrong
79
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,840
those horses
80
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,840
belief in his compassion and just
authority was central to my life
81
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:53,840
if anything was broken father could fix
it he could mend broken toys and spirits
82
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,640
and this day was special
83
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:07,840
it was my birthday
84
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:21,840
foreign
85
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:17,840
no one could fix this no one
on earth and no one in heaven
86
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:33,440
after the funeral which steins got back to the
task of living our relatives and close friends had
87
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,960
a council of sorts and when the men were finished
mother announced to their surprise that she was a
88
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:47,040
merchant's daughter and despite being a woman
had all the traits necessary to run a business
89
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:57,200
and she intended to do just that having lost my
father and with mother so taken up by her work i
90
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:04,000
had no point of reference that's why i needed god
that's why i needed to believe we were his people
91
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:13,840
i needed to be in his family because my own was
falling apart without god i would have been alone
92
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,920
a girl who had to fend for herself
93
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:30,320
oh dr herbsters i am eddie stein
good sex yes yes i know who you are
94
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,000
but what are you doing here your class has
already been called that is precisely why i'm
95
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:44,880
here dr hebstet i do not wish to go to that class
any longer oh i see and why is that i suspect that
96
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:52,720
it's holding me back it's holding you back really
yes dr harpship i feel i am intellectually ahead
97
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:58,000
of the other children and i feel i should
be doing more oh no no need to miss stein
98
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,880
it would be irresponsible of me
to grant you your absurd request
99
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,400
and now immediately please find your way
back to your assigned class before test me
100
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:14,800
dr habstein test me on all of these books give me
a chance to prove i'm qualified that's all i ask
101
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:37,840
very well mr schneider but i'm afraid you
may regret your conceit most exceedingly
102
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:50,080
i came to thank you for the regard you have
shown my daughter in it she's most appreciative
103
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:56,080
yes i would think she would play so um i'm not
at all sure if this is in her best interests
104
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:04,000
how so my experience tells me that
a girl who excels beyond her years
105
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:12,880
is chasing a truth that may become irrelevant to
her happiness yet i've been told she has a nimble
106
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:22,880
mind perhaps she will find out herself yet despite
my nimble mind my taste was becoming obsessive
107
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,440
i needed to find an answer to the question of god
108
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:36,320
if he exists why did my father
die leaving my mother to suffer so
109
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,760
but perhaps such questions are not for
young girls playing with the notion of god
110
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,400
as if understanding the divine
were simple as learning how to swim
111
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:57,600
isn't it safer i thought to just tread
water or better end the game before we drown
112
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:06,240
and as i reasoned so that voice deep inside
me which had been so loud when my father lived
113
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,120
the silence
114
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,240
i'm the god of your father god
had told moses at the burning bush
115
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:30,000
and suddenly i realized that for me god
had died the day they buried my father
116
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,400
took me years to hear god's voice again
117
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:43,840
years of battle and war
118
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,880
the nerves that's what it's all
about here you know getting a grip
119
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:11,840
no thank you i don't drink that's a
word you mustn't ever use humorous don't
120
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:18,320
there's nothing you don't do here we're in
hell remember all of life's rules become fasted
121
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,840
what's an odd place to find a philosopher
lonely country hell is full of them
122
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,840
you really don't drink do you
did you think i was being polite
123
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,760
i won't be doing anyone any
good sitting here drinking
124
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,960
will i you won't be doing anyone much good
out there either patching up soldiers so
125
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,240
they are fit to point the gun for the
next round of fire hardly seems worth it
126
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:04,000
athena ii how inspiring that's all the
western front needs more world wariness
127
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,080
you'd know all about that wouldn't you nurse
128
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,000
you're here to redeem yourself aren't you
129
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,120
if you can save a couple of our
soldiers into the bargain all the better
130
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,120
beauty calls if you'll
131
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,040
is not an experiment
132
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,000
they stop shooting at night don't they they
are french for them the night is sacred
133
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,720
have you had dinner not that
this could be called dinner
134
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,720
mine was purely a rhetorical question
yes i have thank you the red cross trucks
135
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,320
finally arrived with supplies this morning
wonderful now it's safe to be vulnerable
136
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,840
i see you've come prepared you never know
137
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:17,040
you know why we're fighting this war this time the
moon french call it feminine for us it's masculine
138
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:24,000
demon now how could you ever find peace with
such conflicting worldviews you've thought
139
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,240
this through haven't you nothing we do here
can even remotely be referred to us thinking
140
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:37,680
because if we were thinking we wouldn't be here
would we you're wrong you know my motives for
141
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:44,080
being here are not purely selfish yes i know your
fellow man and all that a compassion can within
142
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:59,840
how so the unexpected when that happens all
that's off the unexpected this for instance
143
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:13,840
i should have known better men like you men like
me what good evening lieutenant enjoy your meal
144
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:35,280
a lot of blood i still have my flask i see
you haven't lost your sense of humor either
145
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:45,520
this may sting i assure you when waste
precious medicine and men like me
146
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,000
i never kissed a man before you know i know
147
00:25:54,160 --> 00:26:09,840
how do you know i know quite a few things
148
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,120
edith had gone to war to redeem
herself for having lost her faith
149
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:33,200
however sophomoric that may sound well did
she all of europe had lost faith michael
150
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:40,560
indeed to this very day god is being squeezed out
of our daily lives there's something you must see
151
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:52,160
when i was a child this house of god stood alone
in the beauty of nature yet now the majesty of god
152
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:58,560
is dwarfed by men's creation i'm a progressive
earner i'm afraid i don't share your loss
153
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,880
then you'd like ana anna anna ana
she has a race car near weinstedt
154
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,240
a phenomenon she calls it she raised
it in her younger days not that she's
155
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,080
retired or anything fact is she's still one
of europe's best best of what you like speed
156
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,840
one of the first true feminists
francis claire really said that
157
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:30,160
her words exactly an odd enough phrase for a lady
of the class i thought they disliked them in it
158
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,840
god love them there's just
such a bastard in your career
159
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,200
i don't know organized religion's
always been a mystery to me
160
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:54,400
that's the whole point of it young lady i
missed you i know what scares me on those rules
161
00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:02,400
pray over here pray over there genuflect
genuflect genuflect again that was either's
162
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:08,720
problem too she often sensed there was too
much smoke it's not enough of god's fire
163
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,040
but we started
164
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:32,320
i met anna at one of the rallies of the prussian
women's league having been a nurse in the war
165
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:39,440
i was asked to be a guest speaker to give a
woman's point of view to that senseless death
166
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,320
but i had not dissipated the
effect ana would have on me
167
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,880
take your notion of god for instance oh lack of
it you've decided there's no god just because
168
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,120
they've god you thought you believed in allows
the world to be a bad place but your method
169
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:10,240
of reasoning is fallacious the intellect will
never lead you to god ideas of a nominologist
170
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:20,560
phenomenology goes back to edmund russell right
professor russo i studied under him oh you believe
171
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:28,720
that reality can never be purely objective exactly
a door isn't a door unless we can open it god
172
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:39,840
isn't good until you can feel him and love isn't
love unless it enters your heart shall we dance
173
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:44,960
lips
174
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,840
worth 36.
175
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,680
how is he the bully grace the pulmonary
artery the next few hours are critical
176
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:12,640
he has a fighting chance to pull through he
strikes me as that sort of fellow he is friend
177
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,280
close
178
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,840
closer than i had thought
179
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:35,840
may i be my guest
180
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:49,840
so
181
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,800
i was seized by his accessible personality
you're going to be my student well i hope so uh
182
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,880
my young colleagues dear ladies
and gentlemen what was the first
183
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:53,520
thought that struck your mind when you read
this sentence as the sunflower tracks the sun
184
00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:03,760
human consciousness strives after the truth i
spent the year studying with professor hussell
185
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:09,600
and soon became his best student they are
the famous french catholic philosopher
186
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:19,200
he said the human phenomenon in his
famous work he deals with the humanity
187
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:27,840
if kierkegaard's phenomenon is
purely christian what is missing
188
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:37,680
yes yes physical exactly graduating
with a phd summa [ __ ] laude
189
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,840
promoting you to a full professorship
190
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,840
it's actually kept now every time they take a
bullet out of you you're pushed up all right
191
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:04,320
pray i never make general by the way i
don't believe we've been properly introduced
192
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,560
it's time hands hand slips
193
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:15,040
but then you know my name awfully kind of you to
inquire after my health and watch over me online
194
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:24,320
are you sure it was me wounded soldiers often
hallucinate not if the wound is too hard besides
195
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,720
how many nurses does germany have with your
gorgeous brown eyes and how many nurse steins did
196
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:37,840
germany stationed in ponta musso so you didn't
sleep at the hospital again guilty as charged
197
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,880
you see i was right he patches up give
us another gun and send us back to war
198
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:56,400
this is all cyclical isn't it until we die i see
you've mended well sarcasm and all i never lose my
199
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:05,840
sarcasm i intend to take that to hell with me it
will give the devil and me a level playing field
200
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,040
don't die hearts is that a northerners because
if it is you should tell my commanding officer he
201
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:19,840
likes to keep abreast of things like that who can
die and who can't he's very tired and white always
202
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:34,000
i think one of us has to go to war or the kaiser
will be very upset should we toss the coin
203
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:47,840
happens now
204
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:59,440
i continued my lecture tours for the
suffrage society i was becoming famous
205
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:09,680
how can they know what's best for us we don't know
what's best for them we are equal in every aspect
206
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:19,600
berlin sent a letter of inquiry
added inquiry about what
207
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,320
your active involvement in women's
rights they are worried they should be
208
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:35,280
you are playing with fire edith i know
that's your favorite toy but haven't you
209
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,760
noticed that those people in government
have been some even longer than mine
210
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:47,680
what does that tell you they are men
and they expect their women to behave
211
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:57,840
is that it the secrets in knowing which
battles to lose in order to win the war
212
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,440
what do those bearded fossils
know about the war anyway
213
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:16,080
dear schnapps i think it was thomas man who
said that war is a cowardly escape from the
214
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,760
problems of peace so when peace does come and
they tell me it's inevitable as our side is
215
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,120
running out of bullets i hope i shall find
a way to piece my life together with yours
216
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:39,840
i must see of schnapps i miss you terribly
217
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:09,760
she loved hans it's clear even by adi's definition
they were made for one another isn't that easy
218
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,360
she missed him apparently
219
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,240
laughs
220
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,720
that releases no beloved from the loving
221
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,960
dante paolo and francesca i'm impressed
222
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,720
don't be only the deeply
afflicted remember those passages
223
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:49,840
deeply afflicted
224
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:03,840
adi never returned from the war
225
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,920
berlin's and a nice ladder
226
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:18,000
when did an iron cross
227
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:31,840
surprisingly some good to come of it
228
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:43,440
i wish i had your faith on my faith
is tested day by day hour by hour
229
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:52,560
i have found there is no miracle cure for
suffering this white is called faith again
230
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,400
i wish i had your faith but you do eat it
231
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:02,720
i see it in everything you do you
are just too stubborn to admit it
232
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,840
for years you have been standing
in front of an unlocked door
233
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,840
why don't you finally open it and pass through
234
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,120
come
235
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:31,920
christ has no body now but yours no hands no feet
on earth like yours yours are the eyes through
236
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:38,880
which he looks with compassion on the world
you also defeat with which he walks to do good
237
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,440
of avila said that about the god
who is the doorkeeper to my faith
238
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,960
teresa favila 16th century carmelite nun
239
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:59,040
quite a lady our ancestors were
jewish were they that is her
240
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:23,840
over the altar but it's also abstract so it's
mathematics until you have to buy groceries
241
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,240
this was something entirely new to me
242
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,640
people usually went to the synagogue
exclusively for the service but he was
243
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:44,080
this lady interrupting her everyday errands to
come to church as if to visit a loving friend
244
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,840
teresa of avila
245
00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:05,840
i had to learn more
246
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,840
so
247
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:44,160
the customer speaking to god almighty as freely as
with a father carrying nothing whether the words
248
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:51,760
are suitable or not but simply saying the first
thing that comes to mind without fear of offense
249
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,840
that is prayer that is the truth of christ
250
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:05,120
i know what if i were to become a christian
251
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:15,840
if that is what you feel you must do feel
eat it remember thinking with the heart
252
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:25,680
i think it's what i feel it might be my way
back to god what is it of god that you miss most
253
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:36,480
when i was a little girl as far back
as i can remember i worshiped my father
254
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,920
i just learned to walk but i knew i
was safe if i let him choose the path
255
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:54,000
because whatever he did no matter how
small he did out of love unconditional love
256
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:04,880
he taught me the truth of loving and
now teresa has shown me the way back
257
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,480
you have shown me the way back
258
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,440
um why do i sense it does not make you happy
259
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:25,840
i've decided to give that lecture for
the prussian women's league next month
260
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,800
i was thinking of visiting home
on my way there that's nice
261
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,280
it has been almost a year oh yeah this may
262
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:45,600
i never cease being a jew you know i had just
lost my faith in god and now that faith is
263
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:52,000
stirring again but i never stop being a jew
i know it's important that you know that oh
264
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,600
i understand jesus was also a jew of course
and he never stopped being a jew even idiot
265
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,360
you need her approval don't you
266
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:21,840
but what if she does not approve
267
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:50,080
oh
268
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,120
i'm giving this speech for the prussian
society next week yes earner rude me
269
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:03,840
i thought i might go over it with
you did you get some of your ideas
270
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:17,840
you've achieved so much as a woman alone
i mean in a world catering to men i'm sure
271
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:24,800
others others have a great deal to learn
from you learn i don't know about that
272
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:34,320
i've read your speeches in the press have you
yes i don't know much about that speeches and all
273
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:45,840
but i feel you could be a bit more well
politics isn't really the field is it for women
274
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,960
we'll be going to shul tomorrow
275
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:59,840
if you'd like to come we'd love to come mother
i would love to come with you and the girls good
276
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:27,840
foreign
277
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:56,160
we aspire to an anti-semitism based on reason
which must lead to the systematic elimination of
278
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:04,880
the privileges of the jews the ultimate objective
of such legislation must be the removal of the
279
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:17,280
jews in general we we all know who we is the
christians there lives among us a non-german alien
280
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:22,320
race which neither wishes no is able to sacrifice
its racial character or to deny its feeling
281
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:31,200
these aliens are the jews out of hitler people are
starting to listen to him at it he's influential
282
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:40,400
in bavaria and bavaria is almost 100 catholic
i would prefer you had no god at all than this
283
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:50,880
one i am ashamed of you edit mother this man this
hitler from what i hear he's just a fanatic mother
284
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:58,960
germany's had its shed but we're used to it they
come and go and we survive you can't judge christ
285
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:05,840
by descendant of these pigs you can't judge
me show me show me you are not one of them
286
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:33,840
so
287
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,840
my dear schnapps i have recently returned from
288
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,880
war as it was useless to fight
on alone after the armistice
289
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,240
i looked forward to hearing
from you so very very much
290
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:22,160
the thought of you had sustained me in
that hell yet your silence is revealing
291
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,160
i'm not yet sure what it is meant to reveal but
being an optimist by nature i feel the worst
292
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:43,840
please right
293
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:02,320
i believe in courage i believe in power of empathy
294
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:11,840
i believe that each and every one of us has the
moral capacity to participate in another suffering
295
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:18,000
every man must decide whether
he will walk in the light
296
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:25,840
of creative altruism or in the
darkness of destructive selfishness
297
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,920
the fear of my own death is
conditioned by another's fear of death
298
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,280
as we live together in
empathy shall we die together
299
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,360
professor russell what an honor
300
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:58,320
could we step outside professor why
professor i have no secrets for my students
301
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:08,080
very well these gentlemen have
come to escort you out of the class
302
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,560
they've come to escort me out of
my class for what purpose professor
303
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:27,600
you should have heeded my warnings concerning
your radical speeches to the passion society
304
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,760
merlin has asked that your
professor should be revoked
305
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:43,280
on what grounds sedition sedition
who do they think i am socrates no
306
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:52,000
no they think you are edith stein
and that's entirely enough for them
307
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,120
and you can do nothing to stop this i'm afraid not
308
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:06,400
my hands are tied then you know
what it's like to be a woman
309
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:17,760
observe the phenomenon class observe it professor
what kind of country puts race and gender
310
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:24,880
above human values and dignity for that
is the country your philosophy now serves
311
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,800
phenomenology was a distraction anyway now i have
time to focus on what really matters which is the
312
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:40,000
world is changing honor fast you heard the
speeches by that man what's his name hitler
313
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:47,440
a random narcissistic maniac i thought so too
honor but he's gained some control in the german
314
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:53,680
workers party that's anton drexler's group they
now favor what they call non-jewish socialism
315
00:52:53,680 --> 00:53:00,640
it's a catchphrase politicians will say anything
to get votes no i think mother was right
316
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:07,920
the tide of bigotry standing again against
us jews what does that mean but for you
317
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,600
practically i've been fighting for women's right
318
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:16,880
from within our ranks i feel now i must
do the same for my people how do you mean
319
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,440
they say hitler's movement is christian
perhaps christ wants me to go further
320
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:25,920
to prove them wrong from within
321
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,840
you mean become a nun
322
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:34,960
eat it
323
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:41,840
what about that fellow at
the train station in bali
324
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:54,480
yeah what about him i don't know what happened to
her if it was was very secretive about that part
325
00:53:54,480 --> 00:54:02,160
of her life i don't think anyone knows except
the only other man who could read her soul
326
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:10,960
his name is origin brightening he's
a bishop now or some such distinction
327
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:15,120
i find it hard to follow catholic
hierarchy a culture of too many colors
328
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:23,840
you will find him in freiburg
that is near the black horse
329
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,080
your excellency mr prager
330
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:54,560
michael welcome we've been expecting you
nice to meet you please sit down thank you
331
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:03,280
mrs reiner court telling us about your
research for the greater glory of god no doubt
332
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:11,040
or the new york times whichever has
a greater circulation yes yes well
333
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:19,840
tell me what would you like to know
about our daedalus okay well firstly
334
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,760
when did edith stein become
theresa benedict of lacrosse
335
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:40,640
let's see it was december 1921 a sunday
during advent the second if i recall
336
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,840
i had decided to audit a catholic
mass to experience it firsthand
337
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,240
i'd heard good things about a priest in freiburg
338
00:55:53,680 --> 00:56:01,840
a man named white link anna told me he
was special and i needed someone special
339
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:29,840
mail
340
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:43,840
be
341
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:54,080
he saw me there in the back pews a face he'd
never seen before i must have looked very intense
342
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:03,120
because the good father couldn't help glancing at
me off and on during the entire service fact is i
343
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:11,840
felt an odd and compelling familiarity with that
service with the words of that man jesus i felt
344
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:19,760
at home i'm afraid it's not that easy my stein
345
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:28,080
people just can't come in here expecting to
become catholics young lady i mean without
346
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:37,600
you preparation but i am prepared father test me
ask me anything from the gospels the psumatologica
347
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:44,160
the letters of jerome the imitation of christ
the catechism the confessions of augustine
348
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:51,120
how can you even know about thomas summa
theologica how can anyone understand ontology
349
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:57,760
without reading the summa along with anselm's
monologue and brentano's study on aristotle
350
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:07,840
under the cornerstones of pope leo
the 13th encyclical immortality
351
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:18,400
dear mother i send you this
invitation to my baptism
352
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:23,200
with a deep understanding of how
difficult this transition must be for you
353
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:35,840
know that this is not the beginning of a new life
but the evolution of my relationship with god
354
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:44,400
i'm not abandoning my faith
just maturing in my love for god
355
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,960
i found i have fallen in love with
356
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:53,680
christ
357
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:10,000
how can you explain the unexplainable in 1453
the jews of breslau were driven out of the city
358
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:19,360
41 of these burned at the stake after
a franciscan friar joan of capistrano
359
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:28,800
unjustly accused them of desecrating the host
whenever i cross the bluter plus i can still
360
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:41,280
smell the stench of burning flesh from all those
centuries ago and now you would become one of them
361
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:52,720
how can you be sure that one day they will
not accuse you for disgracing your hosts
362
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,320
there is a reason
363
00:59:59,200 --> 00:59:59,840
nominee
364
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:21,920
corpus christi
365
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,840
amen
366
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,120
dearest mother your letter left me in anguish
367
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:48,640
those atrocities you speak of though committed
in the church of christ are not of christ we
368
01:00:48,640 --> 01:01:09,840
cannot second-guess god based on the actions of
man god is more than that jesus was one of us
369
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,280
what are you doing here if i knew you were in the
370
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:37,840
market i would have demanded
equal time for evangelicals
371
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,560
why didn't you answer my letters i tried
372
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:52,320
i would start a letter and then realize i had
nothing to say except for small talk and i knew
373
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:57,360
you wouldn't appreciate that actually from
you i would have accepted talk of any size
374
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:08,640
small intermediate large you'll find on the most
unbeatable romantic is that what this is a romance
375
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:19,840
hans my life has taken a few
unexpected turns i can see that
376
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,400
you told me you'd never kissed a
man before well despite my obtrusive
377
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:36,640
flamboyance i'm also no libertine i've
actually fallen in love with you here
378
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,200
i couldn't help that i blame the bombs but
379
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:47,840
gorgeous eyes had a bit to do with it
380
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,000
i find i can no longer live without
you it will be cruel to us both
381
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,160
i need you
382
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,040
and as is customary in such cases
i would ask that you but how am i
383
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,840
hence i'm thinking of becoming a nun
384
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,400
you are serious aren't you
385
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,840
i believe i have a real vocation but my father
386
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:40,400
confessor has urged me to wait bless
you to be absolutely sure you understand
387
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,480
which means you're not and i don't need a
priest to tell me that i can see it in your eyes
388
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:52,880
hans we're not making this any easier easier
what do you expect me to do edith you've just
389
01:03:52,880 --> 01:04:00,400
told me my only competition is gone what should
i do grow up here give me time hold us 48 hours
390
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,480
whatever i do must bear
total commitment to the truth
391
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:14,800
however whomever i love that love must complete me
392
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,600
i will never settle for anything else
393
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:25,840
yes
394
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,000
that is who you are
395
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:43,200
may i may i write him of
course were you right back
396
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,920
i'm stubborn you know when i want something
397
01:04:58,880 --> 01:04:59,680
i don't give up
398
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,840
tell him
399
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:35,840
i love you too are vocations really
like that suppressing natural instincts
400
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:49,840
union with god michael is
mankind's most natural instinct
401
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:07,760
there's a mountain nearby it's called the
feldberg 1 500 meters an afternoon's hike
402
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:14,560
for an experienced climber but there's
a section of it there katzenstein
403
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,920
it's called the cat's trail and you really have
to be a cat to climb it straight up and down
404
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:31,840
it almost summited the peak june it
was 1958 when i lost my concentration
405
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:41,200
that happens you know the closer you are
to the top the more you take it for granted
406
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:53,360
one full step and you fall like with mountains
you must never ever take god for granted
407
01:06:55,200 --> 01:07:03,040
one fourth step and you are suddenly living your
wrong life the same could have happened to edith
408
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:13,840
you know a vocation's never easy michael
and i can tell you it wasn't easy for her
409
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:16,160
because of her mother
410
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:19,360
well
411
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:29,600
there was that yes but there
was something else someone else
412
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:48,080
han's lips she never mentioned him again after
she entered the camel of colonia in 34. 1934
413
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:55,840
hans vanishes from edith's life
414
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:03,440
hold on this sister gave me
her diary diary afraid not
415
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:09,280
anna sent me a copy a few years ago i
poured over it so often i almost know
416
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:15,600
it by heart but there is no mention
of hands not after 1934 1922-1934
417
01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:27,439
12 years of waiting for what course a
life would take how did she get through it
418
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:38,640
he made a deal she would write teach religious
education and comparative theology and generally
419
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:44,480
serving the world until god gave us an irrefutable
sign that it was time for her to enter the camel
420
01:08:48,560 --> 01:09:05,840
a sign what you would call shot
heard around the world i guess
421
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:33,839
yes
422
01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:47,839

i'm sorry i had no way of knowing
439
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:36,880
one speech
440
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,360
i heard it played over and over again on the radio
441
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:45,200
especially on kristen knocked
442
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,840
over and over again until we fled
443
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:53,520
your choice
444
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:03,840
how did you survive
445
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,000
i'm sorry this is this is
not about me are you sure
446
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:17,840
i can help you michael are you an
exorcist no i'm not but i know evil
447
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,840

was no god there to catch me
448
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:28,080
please
449
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,920
i have a report to deliver to my editor-in-chief
450
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:44,000
let's stay on edith and his anti-semitic rhetoric
came to life like upon guys the nazis were
451
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:50,480
especially keen to weed out the converted jews
from the labeled traitors of their race thank you
452
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:59,840
the idea of edith serving in the world had hit
a brick wall that world no longer wanted her
453
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,720
and she came to me in the fury
454
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:14,320
it's time you kept your word father if hitler's
election isn't an irrefutable sign that i must
455
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:23,920
enter carmel then you're just not paying attention
my people need me now more than ever look edith
456
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:31,600
asked me to prepare this she said we needed one
day to distance the church from hitler's madness
457
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:38,880
from the very early stages of their campaign
the nazi's plan was to systematically tear
458
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:46,640
german society away from christianity and bend
it to their own pagan beliefs consequently a
459
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:55,840
short while after hitler came to power in 1933
christian rituals were replaced by pagan ones
460
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,360
i had to put christianity
face to face with the truth
461
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:12,160
why didn't you do something huh
you the church the catholic church
462
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:19,280
this people would have listened
to you why didn't you do something
463
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,840
you could have said something
464
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:37,840
i'm listening come on speak
speak to me tell me why
465
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,680
this is where i do much of my meditating
466
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:51,840
for my faith and that of my dear christ
467
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,560
why didn't the church do something to stop
468
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:19,840
the systematic and wholesale
slaughter of millions of jews
469
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:27,280
ignorance fear madness cowardice you name it
470
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:38,000
sometimes i ask myself what if
i had been the pub back then
471
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:41,200
would i have been
472
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:52,880
brazen enough to excommunicate every catholic
man or woman who had any part in the holocaust
473
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,960
and not just the upper nazi echelon
474
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:08,320
but just every nazi soldier of every
ring who ever set foot in auschwitz
475
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:16,160
i wasn't the pope thank god i just
476
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:29,840
you know like most of the people i just was too
naive to believe that anyone could be that cruel
477
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:38,080
that human beings of a civilized nation
478
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,840
would extinguish other human beings
479
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:47,920
like gay sex
480
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:52,160
what about edith
481
01:17:54,960 --> 01:18:04,720
what did she think feel the weight of the cross
father his crown of thorns his own humiliation
482
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:09,200
his
483
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:18,480
it humiliation her humiliation she just rounded
up an amherst fort deported to the east she should
484
01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:26,080
have escaped when escape was still possible
why didn't she why did you mention hamas food
485
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:39,840
mariah
486
01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:54,640
there we are other transit camps
for jews rounded up in holland
487
01:18:56,480 --> 01:18:59,200
they were making them why almost fought
488
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,840
where you was that true
489
01:19:08,480 --> 01:19:12,240
paper like the times has access to a lot
of facts you know you can't go to help a
490
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:21,840
lot answer my question why didn't
edith escape when she still could
491
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,840
because she would never do it
492
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:38,800
she could never
493
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,600
she couldn't abandon her own people it
would have been like abandoning jesus
494
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:51,280
on the night of his pressure didn't
the apostles do that oh yes they did
495
01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:55,200
because
496
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:03,840
they were bitter afraid they felt betrayed
497
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,760
i can tell you i too was a bit after my phone
498
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:14,720
seems like you still got a way to go
499
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:25,440
i was even thinking of
leaving the priesthood but uh
500
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,840
god doesn't appreciate quitters
501
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:45,840
maybe that's the reason why edith stayed and
entered the camera with a slight detour that is
502
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:59,840
is
503
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:16,160
after the meal i spent that evening with my mother
504
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:27,840
until i brought her to bed
feeling the weight of her sorrow
505
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:55,840
uh
506
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:37,840
it is time
507
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:46,320
lord you have called me by my name
behold i come to do your holy will
508
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,160
dear daughter what your desire
509
01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:57,120
one thing i have asked of the lord
510
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:05,840
this i seek to dwell in the house
of the lord all the days of my life
511
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,720
have you pondered well what you
wish to commit yourself to do
512
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,840
i have by the grace of god
513
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:55,760
have you prepared to follow this on a
man your spouse completely until the end
514
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,840
i am by the grace of god
515
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,840
in preparation for the perpetual
vows which you are about to pronounce
516
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:29,840
i invite you now to renounce all actual
moral right to own anything under heaven
517
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:57,840
so
518
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:29,920
i aided stein promised to observe for the whole of
my life the holy gospel of our lord jesus christ
519
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:41,200
by living in obedience without
property and in chastity onto death
520
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:57,920
they've passed these monstrous laws at nuremberg
stripping us of our citizenship of our citizenship
521
01:25:58,480 --> 01:26:07,040
how dare they we jews have been in germany longer
than you germans since the second century look the
522
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:15,280
marriages between jews and citizens of german or
kindred blood are strictly forbidden how dare they
523
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,840
not it would have mattered not him hans would have
524
01:26:25,440 --> 01:26:26,800
he really loved me you know
525
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:38,160
is that why you answered carmel why you were
so anxious to cut short the uncertainty of
526
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,160
what he would or would not have done
527
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:51,280
is it he'd have of course not father what a
silly thing to say it's nothing of the sort
528
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:58,320
my vocation my mission in life our mission
as christians we cannot allow this to happen
529
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:04,480
right under our noses the holy father
must act immediately i must tell him
530
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:17,440
holy father as a child of the jewish people
531
01:27:17,440 --> 01:27:21,200
as well as being for the past 12
years a child of the catholic church
532
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:31,840
i dare to speak to the father of christianity
about that which oppresses millions of germans
533
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:40,400
for years the leaders of national socialism have
been preaching hatred of the jews and now they
534
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:47,040
have seized power and armed their followers this
seed of hatred has germinated everything that
535
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:53,280
continues to happen on a daily basis originates
with a government which calls itself christian
536
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:04,480
we who see the conditions in germany with open
eyes fear the worst for the prestige of the church
537
01:28:04,480 --> 01:28:12,080
if your holiness silence continues any longer if
the responsibility must fall on national socialism
538
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:17,920
it must also fall on those who keep
silent in the face of such happenings
539
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,840
do you think edith ever forgave
the church for doing so little
540
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,520
she made up for what the church left
541
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:39,280
she was one of the few who stood up
to the nazis right to the very end
542
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:42,240
what happened
543
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,840
as the political situation worsened for the jews
544
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,840
i met with some of my family
545
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,840
hello
546
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:31,440
how is he
547
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,840
who mother
548
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:43,120
that young man
549
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:57,440
who wrote to you from france what was his name
550
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:05,840
hans han slips mother
551
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:19,840
do you love him
552
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:21,840
yes mother
553
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:33,840
fine
554
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,280
they visited me to discuss
their plans for immigration
555
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:01,840
and though they begged me to follow i refused
556
01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:29,840
so
557
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:52,640
what about rosa
558
01:31:55,440 --> 01:32:03,680
she was baptized in winter the same year and
joined edith in the carmel rosa became a nun no
559
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:11,200
i believe after her mother's death when the stein
family broke apart rosa found herself alone in the
560
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:19,920
world alone with edius and she became her
greatest ally at the time when edith was
561
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:22,960
finally
562
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:39,840
to leave her homeland forever
563
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:51,760
what can we do for you sister i'm
a nun living in the carmel of act
564
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:59,840
once due to my ethnic origins i thought it might
be wise to inform the commandant that i live here
565
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:04,560
in act if there are any
consequences to my being here
566
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:12,640
to my being a jew please deal directly with
me please leave my companions in christ alone
567
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,840
amazing and honorable jew
568
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:35,840
we already know you're here
sister give me the photo from act
569
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:46,560
yes
570
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:55,040
you arrived at the end of
the year with uh roserstein
571
01:33:58,480 --> 01:34:03,840
correct
572
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:09,440
i've made all the arrangements this
afternoon switzerland is out of the question
573
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,600
it is strictly close to immigrants especially jews
574
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:22,880
so i've made other plans for you a car will take
you to madame brick here jesuit priest father
575
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:28,480
alting will meet you at the port where a tugboat
will take you to kungsbacker here in sweden
576
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,840
you'll be safe there until the jesuits
find some other transports for america
577
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,280
you will give this to the tugboat captain
578
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:45,280
this is the amount they told me don't let him
cheat you not a penny more understand i see
579
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:50,880
mother wasn't the only merchant's daughter in
the family concentrate rosa this is important
580
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:59,760
my beloved sister what makes you think i would
ever escape without you but you must rosa
581
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,920
i dragged you into this whole thing if
it hadn't been for me you'd be with erna
582
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:12,800
in america safe and come with me then i'm sure
father alting has room for two we've been over
583
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:22,560
this i cannot leave my place is here yes is mine
by this whole thing i suppose you mean baptism
584
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:36,240
you're special edith but you're not christ
and christ is the reason i'm here not you
585
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:42,320
my sacrifice may not be as impressive as yours
586
01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:48,800
but in my own small way i'm also needed to
intercede on behalf of the children of israel
587
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:57,040
your name is edith stein born in
1891 breslau what's your nationality
588
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:04,960
german your race jewish your father's
race jewish your mother's race jewish
589
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:11,680
your grandmother's race jewish your grandfather's
race jewish your great-grandmother's race jewish
590
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:23,840
your great-grandfather's race jewish
why did you become a nun to serve christ
591
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:36,480
then they were released for the time
being but forced to wear yellow stars
592
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:42,240
the nazis were sadistic like that cats
playing with their mice before the death blow
593
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:51,840
of course edius knew all this let's
why she asked me to witness this
594
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:55,200
our last will and testament
595
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:05,840
i joyfully accept and advance the death which
god has appointed for me in perfect submission
596
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:13,920
to his most holy will may the lord accept my life
and death for the honor and glory of his name
597
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,600
for the needs of his holy church
598
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:20,880
and for the jewish people
599
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:36,640
so that was the end not yet she had to give
the church one last push in the right direction
600
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:44,080
she wrote to archbishop waltz and urged him and
other european bishops to do what the pope had
601
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:52,240
found inconvenient she suggested
that time was running out because
602
01:37:53,200 --> 01:38:00,960
as she put it the experiences of these last
few years have laid bare intrigues which
603
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:11,280
from the outset are clearly only aimed at a war of
extermination she wrote that extermination yes and
604
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:16,320
now valza and the others could no longer pretend
to be deaf to edith christ they had to speak
605
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:29,840
out against hitler and this time her message got
through with the backlash that cost her her life
606
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:43,840
yes
607
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:57,840
me
608
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,840
foreign
609
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:53,840
come we must go now our people
610
01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:02,160
thank you for this precious day bishop i learned
a lot about two very special people edith and you
611
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:10,720
michael yeah where did you see this
612
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:35,840
hammersport august 2nd my mother
just turned 29 i was 7. go on
613
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:39,760
i understand
614
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:43,200
so go with god
615
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:49,840
it doesn't seem like i have
much choice around here
616
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:12,800
and uh your uncle you never married
i'm not sure my mother mentioned
617
01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:18,640
she was engaged to a jewish woman once but the
nuremberg laws made marrying her impossible
618
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:26,720
what do you know about his private life
not much he was very um how do you say um
619
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:35,200
to the content reserved yes uh but mother
mentioned something about a book he was writing
620
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:45,840
before he went to the war was it ever
published no but i have the original manuscript
621
01:41:49,760 --> 01:42:00,240
here
622
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:13,840
please
623
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:23,040
having loved her i set out to mesh
my life with her own as it were
624
01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:29,760
not being a religious man i opted to avoid a
journey to catholicism or judaism for that matter
625
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:38,800
but focused on evis other great
passion phenomenology i became one of
626
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:43,680
germany's most prominent philosophers
elbows with the likes of heidegger
627
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:53,200
i certainly had no problem with self-esteem
i could see why she fell for you
628
01:42:55,600 --> 01:42:59,520
i should have made clear that hitler's
world would have never stood in our way
629
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:09,840
we could have had a life elsewhere
630
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:37,840
there was so much i needed to tell
her when i sought her out on a train
631
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:52,320
the ultimate leaf taking is the leaving of god
632
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:58,000
meister echad 1260-1327 but then
who am i to call philosophers
633
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:07,920
once what are you doing here i'm stubborn
remember i'm not giving up on you jesus
634
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:14,320

impediment in the middle ages
637

these are the last letters
edith wrote the last i know
667
01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,400

i knew that francis claire
forwarded it to me alone
670
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:23,840
along with the other letters he
has never had a chance to post
671
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,480
the night is something of nature
672
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:39,120
the opposite of light enveloping us and all things
it is not an object in the true sense of the word
673
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:49,440
the night is invisible and formless and
yet we perceive it just as light causes
674
01:50:49,440 --> 01:50:56,000
things to stand out so the night swallows
us up into its blackness it condemns us to
675
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:06,400
solitude and makes our own shells shadowy and
ghost-like the night is a foretest of death
676
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,760
it is not an object in the true sense of the word
677
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:23,840
the night is invisible and formless
and yet we perceive it just as light
678
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:33,840
causes things to stand out so the
night swallows us up into its blackness
679
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:47,840
the night is a foretaste of death
680
01:51:53,680 --> 01:52:01,840
so
681
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:29,840
