“O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer. (Revelation 6:10-11)
Book on Jewish Christians of Holocaust now published
CMJ USA • February 23, 2021
Kelvin Crombie tells the story of Bazyli and Anna Jocz, two Jewish Christians who suffered at the hands of the Nazis
Meet Bazyli and Anna Jocz, our siblings in Messiah
Bazyli worked for CMJ in Poland as a colporter, handing out books and other literature. In 1943, Bazyli was forced to hide in a woodshed while his wife Anna passed as a Gentile Polish woman. But early the next year somebody betrayed them. The Gestapo had come looking for them.
Bazyli and Anna Jocz: Jewish Christian Victims of the Holocaust 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.
Scroll down to read more about the project.
In this video, author Kelvin Crombie sketches the story of Bazyli and Anna and how he came to write a book about their lives.
The book Bazyli & Anna Jocz: Jewish Christian victims of the Holocaust is available on Amazon now. Proceeds go toward the Jewish Believers Holocaust Project.
Help us remember their names and stories
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.

2026 has been a remarkable year of connection for CMJ USA. Traveling across the country to meet so many of you in person—at churches, conferences, and gatherings—is always a highlight of our ministry. From our early trips through South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to our upcoming visits in California, Texas, and Virginia (plus the meaningful Seders and teachings close to home in Pennsylvania), we are deeply grateful for every open door. As we look ahead, we are preparing for a major milestone: launching Emunah in 2027 and introducing it to congregations nationwide. To reach as many communities as possible, we need to build a strong digital and physical foundation today. Here is where your Day of Giving support directly makes an impact: Expanding Emunah: While Emunah will initially launch as a digital download, our goal is to expand into print editions and high-quality video instruction to maximize its reach. Travel & Outreach: Bringing the Jewish roots of our faith directly to local congregations requires flights, rental cars, and boots on the ground. Upgrading Our Digital Presence: We are optimizing our website to make key resources easily accessible and expanding CMJ’s voice on social media to actively counter anti-Jewish rhetoric with truth and clarity. How You Can Partner with Us Today Invite Us to Your Church: We would love to minister to your local congregation in person. Pray for the Ministry: Stand with us in prayer for wisdom, safe travels, and open doors. Invest in the Mission: Consider becoming a monthly donor or giving a strategic one-time gift this Day of Giving. As Director Emeritus Philip Bottomley often reminds us, "The Lord pays for what He orders." We also know He delights in using His saints as conduits of His abundant provision. To our faithful regular donors: thank you. You are integral to everything we do. Will you help us take this next step forward today?
