Edith Stein was a German philosopher who converted to Catholicism and became a discalced Carmelite nun, taking the religious name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. In 1942, she was imprisoned and killed by the Nazis in Auschwitz due to her Jewish ethnicity.
The text in the background is a passage from her study of St. John of the Cross: Der Mensch ist dazu berufen, in seinem Innersten zu leben und sich selbst so in die Hand zu nehmen, wie es nur von hier aus möglich ist; nur von hier aus ist auch die rechte Auseinandersetzung mit der Welt möglich; nur von hier aus kann er den Platz in der Welt finden, der ihm zugedacht ist.
