Showing results for "holocaust" in Christianity

Poignant meditations occasioned by a unique convergence of commemorative events. On Good Friday, April 14, 1995, Christians remembered the crucifixion of Jesus, Jews reenacted the Passover, and the world at large observed the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II and the Holocaust. That unusual juxtaposition formed the backdrop as Joel Marcus - a Jew by birth, a Christian by choice - took the pulpit at St. Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland.

Carolyn Sherrow’s early life was marred by the darkness of ritual abuse and mind control. Yet, through the power of God’s relentless love, she found the strength to rise above her past. In My Personal Holocaust, Sherrow describes her profound journey of faith, healing, and redemption. In this deeply personal account, she shares how a dissociative disorder once bound her in fear but ultimately led her closer to God. With the support of compassionate counselors and divine guidance, she embarked on a path of spiritual and emotional restoration.

When most of us hear the word "Auschwitz" it immediately invokes black and white, grainy footage of living skeletons, gas chambers and inhuman brutality of a level never seen since. But the thing that most people do not realize is that before the town of Auschwitz was used as a death camp, it was one of the most posh and cosmopolitan towns in all of Austria. It was a prosperous Jewish enclave known rather fondly as "Little Jerusalem".

Remarkable true stories of Holocaust survivors who through mysterious turns of fate have met the loved ones they have lost or glimpsed goodness in their persecutors. Through faith, inner belief and wondrous hope they have learned to rejoin the broken threads of their lives.
