Nearly three decades later, in August 2005, I met an elderly Jewish lady from Amsterdam, who never recovered from the trauma of seeing her father snatched from her at Theresenstadt on Yom Kippur, in 1944. She vowed never to mention the name of God again. Let us all pray that she and all the walking wounded on both sides of the fence change their minds and open their hearts to God's call, before passing on into the next life. "Lord, unite Jew and Gentile in the offering of the precious body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, Lamb of God. Pour out a double portion of the spirit of Elijah onto the nation of Israel and prepare Jewish tabernacles to receive in full the gift of God, that is, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting, at no cost". Amen. I was 11 when I first immersed myself into the world of Rudy Weiss.

“Lord, unite Jew and Gentile in the offering of the precious body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, Lamb of God.

Pour out a double portion of the spirit of Elijah onto the nation of Israel and prepare Jewish tabernacles to receive in full the gift of God, that is, the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting, at no cost”.

Amen.

Still, my heart breaks for all those involved. The Lord works in mysterious ways ... and as Christians we must remember that all can be forgiven in the ways of our Lord.

My mother had a very good friend who lived in Germany who was part of the Nazi youth corp during Hitlers reign of terror. Indoctrinated as a kid and without much choice really, being part of this was how she survived, but in later years it haunted her to have in any way been associated with it and what she experienced paled in comparrison with what those working in the camps must have expereinced. As I looked at the pictures I wondered how each one got there; and what happened to sear their hearts and conscience to where they could do what they did and still laugh and smile. It's rather chilling and knowing the history of the culture, how after WW1 german society took a turn that our nation is rapidly heading towards. These "monsters" were products of a society that devalued certain groups of people that were a burden or unwanted; the elderly, handicapped, the unborn... then the Jews were added along with other minorities, chrisitans included. As children they were desensitized and brainwashed. I fear for todays children educated in public schools who are likewise taught to believe a lie, where all that is good and of God is mocked. May the Lord have mercy and may we as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ do what we can to touch the lives of others with His love and truth. Grace and peace to you David, I pray all is well!
