Three lectures by researcher Kelvin Crombie for Holocaust Remembrance Day

In October 2023, just after the horrific October 7 invasion of Israel by Hamas, Kelvin Crombie visited PIttsburgh and Akron to share about his yearslong research project.


Kelvin has been working to document the fate of Jewish believers in Jesus (Hebrew Christians/Messianic Jews) who suffered during World War II. Up until now it has not been widely known that many thousands of such Jews died at the hands of Nazi Germany and their allies.


Very little hard evidence, figures, and stories have ever been assembled about these victims, and their tragedy largely remains an untold chapter in the history of the Holocaust. Kelvin has been


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


Below are three lectures Kelvin came in October 2023. While there is overlap in the lectures, they all have unique information from Kelvin's studies.

7 Phases of the Holocaust

In this video, Kelvin explains how the Holocaust comes about. The 7 phases are Kelvin's tool for understanding the sequence of events and how the Nazis evolved their anti-Jewish policies toward Jewish extermination.



Stories of Jewish Christians during World War II

In this lecture, Kelvin tells how he came to be fascinated by the Holocaust. He begins by giving a flyover view of God's promises to Abraham and his descendants and how Satan has persecuted the Sons of Jacob. Then he shares stories of Jewish followers of Jesus during World War II.

The Controversy of Jewish Christians in the Holocaust

In this third lecture, Kelvin shares more stories of different Jewish followers of Jesus in the Holocaust including those who were interred in France as part of the Madagascar Plan to deport Jews from Europe.

Bedouin shepherds found it. A bishop sold it. An Israeli agent bought it. Now you can see it up close.

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?
