On January 20th, 1942, fifteen Nazi leaders came together in Wannsee, outside Berlin, to coordinate the so-called ”final solution”. This was the attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 11 million people. Seventy years on, Christians from Germany, Europe and other parts of the world, met in Berlin to decide how together they can step up the fight against Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism in our time.

By Rev Nick Howard.. The word ‘racist’ probably brings to mind a skinhead with a snarling face. But this image can blind us to the presence of well-spoken racists in very respectable jobs, who can capitalise on their social status to inflict more serious long-term damage than their counterparts on the streets.

Such vilification inspired historical waves of violence, like the pogroms, the expulsion of the Spanish Jews and Martin Luther’s demonology (the founder of Protestantism argued that the Jews were no longer the chosen people but instead “the Devil’s people.”) (more…)
By Dexter Van Zile. The god that inheres in the WCC statements about the Middle East is obsessed with Jewish sin and scared to death of Muslim extremists. Such a craven and anti-Semitic god is not worthy of worship, but that is the god implicitly proffered by the WCC in its public witness about the conflict and about the region as a whole. (more…)
