I’ll write more about that in detail at a later time, but for now, I’d like to focus on this past week’s Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The famous mantra “Never again” means just that, in my view. That the Jews survived through one campaign of extermination is remarkable in the extreme, and clear evidence of ultimate Divine protection.

From Haman to Hitler (and, sadly, beyond to our day), strongmen have sought to murder every Jew. This satanic obsession is of course grotesque, and yet it doesn’t deter new madmen from trying where others have failed spectacularly.

One of the most insane statements in history comes from the mouth of Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Nazi-led Holocaust:

“I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction.”

The SS operative has certainly gone on to his well-deserved reward. When Mossad agents plucked him off a street in Argentina in 1961, no doubt Eichmann was as stunned as everyone else. He had enjoyed 15 years of luxury, after helping butcher millions of human beings. He was hanged in Israel in 1962.

I find that Christians in America don’t know much about the Holocaust. It was perpetrated by church-going Nazi leaders. Although there were a few brave souls in Europe who saved Jewish lives, by and large the culture stood by and watched it happen.

More than 1.5 million children were murdered. Children. The stain has soaked through the fabric of Germany; it will never be erased.

Today, the global rise of anti-Semitism is as alarming as it is infuriating.

As my friend Kay Wilson posted on Facebook:

“If there would be a minute’s silence for every one of the 6,000,000 Jews murdered in the Holocaust, the world would be silent for over 11 years.”

Kay herself was the victim of Palestinian terror a few years ago, when she was almost hacked to death (and her friend was). The satanic hatred of Jews is unfortunately alive in our world today. It is why, as Daniel Seaman said, “Never again” must not be just a mantra; it must be a call to action.

I know many, many wonderful Christians and even churches that genuinely love the Jewish people. As a matter of fact, I love hearing from you. If you are a member of a congregation or a pastor of a church that loves Israel, drop me a line; I’d love to hear from you. Today, more than ever, it’s important to network.

This year I am again taking part in the church outreach program of the America-Israel Friendship League, and next weekend we are holding another seminar at Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, after being in California and Florida the previous two months. If you’d like to hear our presentation (we don’t charge a church for travel expenses, so it’s free!), drop me a line. We are already booking into 2017, but we can be flexible to your schedule.

One of our presenters, my dear friend Alex Grobman, is a leading Holocaust scholar. He’s written a series of terrific books defending Israel and I encourage you to check them out on Amazon.

At Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, there is one display that affected me the most. You can stand on a railroad track and see large mural photos of Jews. It gives you some idea of having been there.

I believe things in our world are going to get worse before they get better (forever), and we must resolve not to allow culture to decline to the point of another Holocaust.

Wherever you are, especially if you are a Christian, act to defy and oppose anti-Semitism. It is really important.
