On Holocaust Memorial Day, Paul Calvert takes a deeper look into the legacy left from the genocide of 6 million Jews.

Christa: Maybe he was brought up with the seeds of Anti Semitism but we have to understand that Hitler was deeply involved in the Occult. He belonged to a society in Munich which was the Fuller Society and there was a Medium, a lady, her name was called Madame Slavaski and she brought the Swastika, the sign, from Tibet and in Vienna where Hitler lived for a while he read the books from a man called Lance Lidenfelds and he said that salvation comes from the Arian race. So Hitler used Anti Semitism in the Church, but his Anti Semitism came out of a very Occult motivation.

Paul: Do German people as a whole still feel guilty for what happened during the Holocaust?

Christa: I believe that many people feel guilty subconsciously, and somehow they can't deal with it. They try to suppress it or to push it away, but more and more believers understand that this wouldn't help just to push it away, that its much better to face it, to confess it before the Lord, what our Fathers and Grandfathers did and then also bring the fruit of repentance. Jesus said bring the fruit of repentance. That our repentance will really bring something forth that it'll really bring redeemed deeds and this is something that needs to happen.

Paul: What's your prayer for the Holocaust survivors around the world?

Christa: My prayer is that they would find comfort and the deepest comfort can only come from God. Isaiah 40 "Comfort, comfort my people". I do believe as Christians we know that our Messiah suffered a lot and its totally wrong to blame the Jewish people for it, because its for our salvation that He suffered, and in His suffering I think there is a great comfort, because He was not suffering because God didn't love Him, He suffered because God loved Him and I believe that God loves the Jewish people very much and even though they have suffered they are not rejected, they are loved by God.

I pray that a comfort that I cannot even describe would come to them and that they would really see hope for the future and that all their suffering would bring fruit because if we don't learn from this great terrible suffering then we are guilty because we cannot say we didn't know. Now we have to say we do know what could happen, but I really wish Ezekiel 37 the valley of dry bones would come alive again and that the prophetic word, we would see it, that the flesh would grow over them and the Spirit that they would come together and we would see resurrection life in Israel. CR
