It seems that the last word from Edith reached a St. Lioba Sister in Freiburg who received a small penciled note from an unknown quarter; it said no more than, “Greetings from my trip to Poland. Sister Teresia Benedicta.”
Sister Teresia Renata Posselt, O.C.D.
Chapter 22, The Last News
Note: Translator and editor Suzanne Batzdorff, who is also Edith Stein’s niece, notes the following details concerning the greetings to Freiburg:
The Sister referred to here was most likely Sister Placida Laubhardt, O.S.B. (1904–1998), a close friend of Edith Stein and a member of the St. Lioba Benedictine community in Günterstal, near Freiburg. Classified as ‘non-Aryan’ by the Nazi regime due to her father’s Jewish heritage, she was later interned in Ravensbrück. Before her own deportation, Sr. Placida destroyed all the letters she had received from Edith Stein, so we must assume this note was among them. Joachim Feldes reports that during a conversation with Sr. Placida on 21 January 1998, she confirmed receiving the note, recognized Edith’s handwriting, and admitted to burning it a few days before her arrest to protect her community. According to Sr. Placida, the actual wording of the note was: “Grüße von Schwester Teresia Benedicta a Cruce. Unterwegs ad orientem” or “Greetings from Sr. Teresia Benedicta a Cruce. En route to the East.” This formulation is different from the one given by Sister Teresia Renata.

Ziemlich #ekelhaft, mit welchen Mitteln #Youtuber auf #Clickbait gehen:
Inhaltslose #Fake Beiträge zum #Tod von #ShaneMcGowan. Bilder seiner #Beisetzung - die allerdings erst am 08.12. stattfinden wird, seine vermeintlichen "#Lastwords - 5 hours before he died!", die traurigen Abschiedsworte von #JohnnyDepp, die aus alten Interviews zusammengeschnitten wurden...
Zum Kotzen, was für eine Welt.
