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.

There is an urgent need to connect and care for our Jewish neighbors. Our Christian obligation stems from the Jewishness of both Jesus and the gospel. We cannot love our neighbor well if we compromise our faith in the process.
