B Burchartz, Alfred 1923-2009 - ‘If He does exist, God, the Righteous One, why’? His uncle's cry never let go of Alfred, pursuing him through the horrors of the Holocaust. God, why? Why do You allow all that to happen - all that suffering men are doing to men whom You have created? Why this madness in the world, all that hatred and torment of those suffering? Why do You keep silent - being called a God of Love, and Keeper of Israel? Where do You care, where do You love, and where is Your love being lived? Where are You, anywhere, if you do exist? He found that ultimately, the answer can be found only with the Man on Calvary, where Jewish people - and most Christians as well - don’t want to go. Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews!”

C Cassutto, Ernst and Elisabeth -
F Feinstein, Isaac 1904-1944 - Isaac pastored a congregation of Jewish believers in Jassy and refused to allow himself and his family to be rescued. "It is the shepherd's duty to die with his flock" he said. He was arrested and tortured. In his last hours and minutes he pleaded with his fellow Jews to repent and turn to God for salvation. Many did. He died of suffocation in a cattle car while reciting the Psalms with a rabbi.
Frydland, Rachmiel - Rachmiel Frydland was raised in an orthodox Jewish home in Poland and was trained to become a rabbi. He came to faith in Yeshua as Messiah after studying Daniel 9:24-26. He suffered in the Holocaust but survived, and lived to become a well-known scholar and teacher, sharing his knowledge of the talmud and Yeshua in books, articles and messages.
G Goldschmidt, Arthur 1873- - Second generation Jewish believer, a judge in Hamburg who was forced to resign his post in 1933. He was deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, where he established an evangelical congregation, preaching and caring for fellow believers. He died on February 9, 1947, after surviving the ghetto.
H Hirschberg, Hans Werner - Hans Hirschberg was a judge from Berlin, deported to Theresienstadt in 1944, where he suffered until liberation. He wrote later, that fully a tenth of the Jews there were "Christian Jews", including a group of 400 who were evangelical Jews from Holland.
