Holocaust Reminder

Sunday, a group from Nyiregyhaza Open Bible Church came to Debrecen to share a special message with us about the Holocaust. Through song, dance, testimonies and stories they shared how Jews and Gypsies from around Europe suffered and died in the concentration camps during World War II.
The leader shared how her own father was Jewish and so the story was especially personal for her.
Later, one of the grandmas from the Debrecen church told how when she was 19 years old she saw her friends being led out of the city in a long, silent line, wearing their yellow stars on their clothes, not knowing where they were going or what would happen to them. Out of the almost 200 people she saw leaving, only one family returned.
Pastor Gulyas shared from scripture about honoring the Jews as God's chosen people and about caring for people in need.
May we all remember "not to look only to our (own) interests, but also to the interests of others."
