Description
At least 140,000 Jewish people lived in the Netherlands at the time of the Nazi-German invasion on 10th May 1940. By 1945 up to 104,000 of these had been murdered in the Holocaust. Included in this overall number were many Jewish Christians who were associated with most of the denominations in the Netherlands.
The narrative follows the life of one Jewish Protestant, Johannes Rottenberg (who died at Mauthausen) in particular, but also the lives of other representative Jewish Protestants and Catholics.
This book looks at the impact the Nazi anti-Jewish legislation had upon the Jewish people in the Netherlands, through the seven phases which lead to the ultimate ‘final solution to the Jewish problem’. It’s purpose is to highlight that Jewish believers in Jesus also suffered and died – as Jews – during the Holocaust.
