“Compelling” just isn’t a big enough word to capture the work that Fr. Paul Hamans has given us in this book.  Edith Stein and Companions on the Way to Auschwitz” not only gives us a portrait of the great saint, but gives us the faces and insights into the hearts of those we call “companions”…be prepared to be both heartbroken and inspired at the same time.

-“An important, beautiful, heart-wrenching book. These Jewish Catholics, were doubly blessed, for they were martyred twice – once, when they entered the Catholic Church at the cost of losing their families, their homes, their livelihoods, and a second time when they were sent to the extermination camp as Jewish Catholics. Martyred for their Catholic faith, martyred for their Jewish blood. The faith, dedication to God, and love of the Church that they showed as they underwent this double martyrdom are inspiring reminders of what the true stakes and rewards of our lives as Catholics are.”
—Roy Schoeman, Author, Salvation is From the Jews
