During the period from 1933-1945 Jewish people throughoutEurope were persecuted by the Nazi regime in Germany, andsome six million were murdered. About half of those murderedwere from Poland.What is not so well known is that there were tens of thousandsof Jewish people in Europe who were associated with the Churchin one form or another. These Jewish or Hebrew Christians(officially 'non-Aryan Christians') suffered like all other Jewishpeople 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 fromwhen they were born in 1880. Bazyli was murdered in 1944 andAnna was severely injured and suffered for the remainder of herlife. It also follows the lives of their sons, and in particular Jakoband Pawel.Considerable background information is provided in orderto better understand the historical and geographical contextin which the family lived, as well as the various phases of theHolocaust.What happened to the Jocz family was quite typical of whathappened to many of the Jewish or Hebrew Christians ofPoland and Europe. Many were murdered by the Nazi's and theirallies, while some survived. This book is an attempt to tell the collectivestory of this sub-group of Jewish victims of the Holocaust."Kelvin has a reputation for rigorous research and leaves no stone unturned. He uncovers another dimension to the Holocaust and one that many have missed. The Nazi fury unleashed against non Aryan Christians." (Marquess of Reading).

In this remarkable book, which combines both memoir and historical analysis, Peter F. Dembowski describes the fate some five thousand Christians of Jewish origin lived in the Warsaw ghetto during the early 1940s.

A connection exists between the first promises of the Bible, made to the Jewish people, and the most recent anti-Semitic incidents around the world. The Holocaust could not have taken place without certain conditions, which included traditional Christian anti-Semitism. This book takes us on a journey from the Bible to the Church Fathers; the Enlightenment Era to WWI; then to WWII and the Holocaust. We finish our journey in our post-Holocaust world where we need to understand our responsibility.

"Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God" (Ruth 1:16). Like Ruth in the Old Testament, every Gentile believer has come out of the land of famine and into the spiritual realm of abundance in the name of Jesus. But unlike Ruth, we have turned our backs on the Jewish people, the relatives of the Messiah. We need to confess personally and corporately on behalf of the Church for centuries of persecution of the Jewish people, looking in these days for every opportunity to bless and not curse them. Once again, Israel and her people are center stage at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the Church must effect reconciliation and why our prayers are vital in this hour. If we will make the same covenent pledge to Israel that Ruth made to Naomi, the Church will never be the same!

A frank and entertaining memoir, from the daughter of Edward Said, about growing up second-generation Arab American and struggling with that identity. The daughter of a prominent Palestinian father and a sophisticated Lebanese mother, Najla Said grew up in New York City, confused and conflicted about her cultural background and identity. Said knew that her parents identified deeply with their homelands, but growing up in a Manhattan world that was defined largely by class and conformity, she felt unsure about who she was supposed to be, and was often in denial of the differences she sensed between her family and those around her. The fact that her father was the famous intellectual and outspoken Palestinian advocate Edward Said only made things more complicated. She may have been born a Palestinian Lebanese American, but in Said’s mind she grew up first as a WASP, having been baptized Episcopalian in Boston and attending the wealthy Upper East Side girls’ school Chapin, then as a teenage Jew, essentially denying her true roots, even to herself—until, ultimately, the psychological toll of all this self-hatred began to threaten her health. As she grew older, making increased visits to Palestine and Beirut, Said’s worldview shifted. The attacks on the World Trade Center, and some of the ways in which Americans responded, finally made it impossible for Said to continue to pick and choose her identity, forcing her to see herself and her passions more clearly. Today, she has become an important voice for second-generation Arab Americans nationwide.
