Anzacs, Empires and Israel's Restoration

Crombie, Kelvin

<p>During the period from 1933-1945 Jewish people throughout Europe were persecuted by the Nazi regime in Germany, and some six million were murdered. About half of those murdered were from Poland.What is not so well known is that there were tens of thousands of Jewish people in Europe who were associated with the Church in one form or another. These Jewish or Hebrew Christians (officially classified as ‘non-Aryan Christians’) suffered like all other Jewish people due to the Nazi race laws.The Jocz family from Poland fell into that category.This narrative follows the lives of Bazyli and Anna Jocz from their births in 1880. Bazyli was murdered in 1944. Anna survived but was severely injured and suffered for the remainder of her life. It also follows the lives of their sons, and in particular Jakob and Pawel. Considerable background information is provided in order to better understand the historical and geographical context in which the family lived, as well as the various phases of the Holocaust.What happened to the Jocz family was typical of what happened to many of the Jewish or Hebrew Christians of Poland and Europe. Many were murdered by the Nazis and their allies, while some survived. This book also endeavours to provide an insight into the collective story of this over-looked group of Jewish victims of the Holocaust.</p>

<p>Would a Jewish nation have been restored in Israel without the strategic work of British Christians? It is doubtful, argues Kelvin Crombie. Certainly the foundation of an active Church amongst the Jews would not have been possible without the London Jews Society. Its supporters included prime ministers and statesmen and together they shared the courageous belief that the return of the Jews to the Promised Land would hasten the return of Christ. The author follows the story of a daring to see Jews converted to Christ within their own homeland. Drawing on previously unpublished reports by the LJS (now the Church's Ministry Among the Jews), he charts the international intrigue and Christian initiative which brought about the first hospitals, schools and training centres in Israel, as well as the construction of Christ Church in the old city of Jerusalem. This book describes the work from its humble beginnings in 1809 through to today's unrest in Jordan's West Bank.</p>
