Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we share with you a talk about Bazyli and Anna Jocz, two Jewish Christians who suffered at the hands of the Nazis. Bazyli was killed by the Gestapo, and Anna was paralyzed after being beaten by a Nazi.

In this video, Kelvin Crombie sketches the story of Bazyli and Anna and how he came to write a book about their lives. This book is the first fruit of an on-going project to retrieve the names and stories of the Jewish Christians who suffered — just as other Jews — during World War II.

The book Bazyli & Anna Jocz: Jewish Christian victims of the Holocaust is available on Amazon now.

Jewish Believers Holocaust Project

Kelvin Crombie, author of For the Love of Zion , is systematically surveying the fate of Jewish believers in Jesus (Hebrew Christians/Messianic Jews) who suffered during World War II. Thousands of such Jews died at the hands of Nazi Germany and their allies, but very little hard evidence, figures, and stories have ever been assembled about these Holocaust victims.

Kelvin is in the process of

  • collecting testimonies,
  • compiling names of victims, and
  • analyzing how Jewish Christians were rounded up and murdered across Europe.

This is a giant and difficult task. Please pray for Kelvin and his research. Pray especially that historic material on these believers (sometimes known as non-Aryan Christians) will come to light.

Consider partnering with CMJ in this important work.

Jesus is Jewish. There are Jewish believers in the church. God loves the Jewish people
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.

CMJ USA Day of Giving - October 14

The LORD has continued to stretch us at CMJ USA in 2025. We're back on social media. We've launched Bridge Builders Essentials. The Emunah Course is nearly done. We are moving the direction the Lord has called us. God wants us to build bridges with our Jewish neighbors, and we are filling up the toolbox for you. Gathering and preparing resources like Bridge Builders Essentials, Jewish/Christian Ministry Guide, and the Emunah Course has a financial cost. As Director Emeritus Philip Bottomley reminds me, "The Lord pays for what he orders." But we also know that the Lord loves to use his saints to be conduits of his abundant provision. We are grateful for those of you who are regular givers. Thank you! You are integral partners. If you are not yet a financial partner, please prayerfully consider coming alongside us.
