The Seventh Room (Hungarian: A hetedik szoba) is a 1995 Italian-Hungarian biography film based on the life of Edith Stein.
[1] Edith Stein grew up in a devout Jewish family round the turn of the century in Breslau.
In the 1920s, Edith Stein worked as a teacher at the St. Magdalena girls' school in Speyer.
After the rise of the Nazis and the beginning persecution of the Jews put an end to her teaching activities, Edith joined the Discalced Carmelite order's convent in Cologne-Lindenthal in 1933, where she took the name Sister Teresia Benedicta a Cruce.
When the Nazi's persecution of Jews increased, Edith was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in the gas chamber there in 1942.
