Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  I will never understand
by Noah Klieger
For many years now, every time I arrive at Auschwitz, I get the same feeling. It appears to me that it wasn’t me who was here during this incredibly dark period, but rather, someone else whose story I heard at some point in life. Even when I write a personal story from my past I have a feeling that I’m not talking about myself. However, this sense dissipates shortly thereafter, and again I remember well that it is indeed I who was here. I was the one who went through all the horrors. I was the one who survived against all odds and certainly in contradiction to the Germans’ plans. For many years now I’ve been asking myself the same question. How could apparent human beings, who managed a completely normal private life, carry out the horrors that could not be described in words? How could they be so cruel?

Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said: "Hamas is increasingly serving as proxy warriors for Iran. ... Either you are a terrorist group or a political party you cannot be both.” She also stressed the need to isolate Hamas and other terrorist groups.
God says: "If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever." (Psalm 81:13-15)
The Jerusalem Connection says: As we remember the Holocaust it is well to remember that what the Nazis did, the Palestinian Jihadists would do in spades. As Secretary Rice has noted, "Hamas is increasingly serving as proxy warriors for Iran." That being the case, why does the Bush administration, with Israel's compliance, continue to prop up Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, knowing full well that Hamas will overthrow him the first chance they get. If Israel avoids another Holocaust it will be because Iran and its proxies, including the Palestinian Jihadists, are terminated with extreme prejudice just as the Nazis were.

Survivors of the Holocaust share their stories with Yad Vashem so what they experienced is never forgotten or denied. Watch the video of Yisrael Gutman telling his story about being a member of the Jewish Underground in the Warsaw ghetto. Also hear the story of Hanna Bar Yesha. In 1944, her entire family, consisting of 70 members, was deported in one train compartment from Hungary to Auschwitz.

Read The Hiding Place
For her efforts to hide Jews from arrest and deportation during the German occupation of the Netherlands, Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) received recognition from the Yad Vashem Remembrance Authority as one of the "Righteous Among the Nations" on December 12, 1967. In resisting Nazi persecution, ten Boom acted in concert with her faith, her family experience, and the Dutch resistance. Her defiance led to imprisonment, internment in a concentration camp, and loss of family members.
If you haven't read this book in a while it's time to reacquaint yourself with this story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along--with joy and triumph!
