I am one of the few surviving remnants throughout the world carrying Brauman as the family last name. For the Jew: “to forget the victims is in fact to kill them a second time” – Elie Wiesel For the Christian: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil . Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer This book is derived from the author’s upcoming larger comprehensive work entitled Picking Up the Cross of Jewish Crucifixion: My Discovery of Being a “Remnant” of the Natural Branch of Abraham. Martin M. van Brauman Jews and Christians United For Israel 6510 Abrams Road, Suite 310 Dallas, Texas 75231 iii THE MISSION STATEMENT FOR JEWS AND CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR ISRAEL The mission of JEWS AND CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR ISRAEL © is to provide both Jews and Christians with an association through which, together, we can stand united against all forms of anti-Semitism and all forms of prejudice and discrimination and we can build bridges of communication and dialogue between Christians and Jews based upon mutual respect and a hunger for interreligious understanding. If you are a “born again” Christian (John 3:3-8), then when you read Ephesians 2:8-22, it is clearly written to all Christians that God has made us into one people with the Jews (Romans 3:28-31) and that God has not forsaken his People of Israel and we both wait upon the coming of the Messiah in the End of Days and all Israel will be saved (Romans 11:1-36). Until then, God expects and commands us to stand together with the Jews and the Nation of Israel. And as a Christian Zionist, I boldly declare, “. Thy People Shall Be My People, and Thy God My God.” Ruth 1:16. John M. Brown Founder of Jews and Christians United for Israel CONTENTS Introduction ......................................................................vi Chapter 1 The Eternal Covenant and Israel’s Mission ..................1 Chapter 2 Divine Providence .......................................................11 Chapter 3 Destruction And Rebirth, The Birth Pangs Of The Coming Messiah .............................................30 Chapter 4 Post-Holocaust Relationship With God And Between Jews And Christians .....................................53 Conclusion ......................................................................89 Notes ...............................................................................99 Glossary of Terms .........................................................117 Bibliography .................................................................123 Introduction What if you grew up never knowing any grandparents, because they had died for unexplained or confusing reasons long before you were born? What if you grew up never having any uncles and aunts, but having a few great aunts and uncles on your mother’s side who were secretive about your parents’ family history and whose true identities are still questionable? What if you grew up in an evangelical Christian background and were told that as a believer you are grafted through a wild olive shoot into God’s covenant with Abraham, as a spiritual branch of Abraham - a spiritual Jew? Historically, the Christian church has preached the replacement of the Jewish people and Israel with the Church, but what should be the covenantal relationship between the Jewish people and Gentiles professing faith in Jesus? Do Christian churches really understand what it means when they proclaim to their congregation that all of God’s promises are eternal? What should the Covenant of Abraham with the Jewish people really mean to the Christian? There are a few Christian leaders who are standing up for the eternal Covenantal people and Israel, such as Dr. David Jeremiah. Dr. Jeremiah in his book, I Never Thought I’d See the Day!, writes of Christians as vii the spiritual children of Abraham and that Israel is God’s chosen people and the continued existence of the Jewish people is by Divine Providence. For in Galatians 3:14, the scriptures proclaim that Jesus will redeem the Gentiles through their faith, so they can receive the Covenant given to Abraham. In Ephesians 2:11- 22, the scriptures explain that Gentiles are born excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the Covenant of the promise, without hope and without God in the world but with Jesus they are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. In Genesis 12:3, God said that I will bless those who bless you [Abraham], and him who curses you I will curse; and all the families of the earth shall bless themselves by you. The Hebrew root meaning “to bless” also means “to graft,” in which those who bless you are grafted into the Jewish people by accepting the religious vision of Abraham and as a wild olive shoot . now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root. Romans 11:17. In Joshua 2:9-13, Rahab, the righteous Canaanite harlot said to the spies sent by Joshua into Jericho before the destruction of the city that I know that the Lord has given this land to you . [for] . we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorities east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed . for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below . please swear to me by the Lord that you will show kindness to my family . and that you will save us from death. Like Rehab who was “grafted” into the Jewish people and became the great- great grandmother of King David, the ancestress to eight viii prophets including Jeremiah and was in the lineage to Jesus [Matthew 1:5], Christians must open their eyes to God’s eternal presence with the Jewish people by His Covenant with Abraham. What if later in life after your father has died and when it is too late to talk to anyone you discover that you are a natural branch of Abraham? What if you discover that your father after his death was Jewish? What if you discover at Yad Vashem that you are connected with a proud German- Jewish family name to a chain of generations stretching back to Berlin, Germany and a Brauman family migrating over the centuries throughout Eastern Europe? What do you do when you discover that you had distant family generations murdered at Auschwitz, sent to the Warsaw Ghetto and later murdered at Treblinka, sent to the Lodz Ghetto and die of starvation, and murdered in the streets and killing fields in Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, and Hungary? What do you do? First, you read to try to understand why, while praying to God asking for wisdom and for what should I do. To understand why did my father hide his Jewish family and identity beginning in 1936? What is the evil nature of this conflict between Judaism and Christianity? Since this discovery over the past five years, I have been reading the writings of Harry James Cargas, James Parkes, Arthur C. Cochrane, Irving Greenberg, John K. Roth, Elie Wiesel, Yehuda Bauer, Abraham Heschel, Eliezer Berkovits, Raul Hilberg, Ignaz Maybaum, Michael Berenbaum, Richard Rubenstein, David Patterson, Yaakov Astor, Jeremy Cohen, Ben Zion Dinur, Yaacov Herzog, Franz Rosenzweig, Lucy Dawidowicz, Paul M. van Buren, James Carroll, Franklin Littell, Emil Fackenheim, Hannah ix Arendt and many other leading Jewish and Christian authorities on Jewish history, theology and the Holocaust. However, during these five years of writing this book, without His Presence though the Holy Spirit to select the books to read, to provide the inspiration gleaned and to present the Scriptures illuminated, I could not have written this book. The purpose of this book is to present various insights gleaned from my readings of the well-known writers of historical events in Jewish history, of the conflict between Judaism and Christianity, of the Holocaust and of the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem to the Jewish people. Jewish history is also the history of anti-Semitism. Jewish history is unique for it is a history of suffering and persecution and a dialogue of God with man. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel has commented that “Auschwitz represented a failure, a defeat for 2,000 years of Christian civilization.”1 The use of the word “Auschwitz” has come to symbolize the genocide of the Jews and the Holocaust.2 Wiesel has lamented who among the Christian community actually studies the Word of God. In Jacob’s vision of the future, he wept together with his persecuted descendants. And this was how he addressed God: In Your Book, it is written that one may not slaughter an animal and her young on the same day. This law shall not be observed by the enemy; he will kill mothers and their children in each other’s presence. I shall not ask You who will observe Your Law; I shall simply ask You to tell me 1 Harry James Cargas, When God and Man Failed: Non-Jew- ish Views of the Holocaust, (1st ed.

Whitman Princeton University Press Princeton and Oxford 1 Introduction This jurisprudence would suit us perfectly, with a single exception. Over there they have in mind, practically speaking, only coloreds and half-coloreds, which includes mestizos and mulattoes; but the Jews, who are also of interest to us, are not reckoned among the coloreds. —Roland Freisler, June 5, 1934 On June 5, 1934, about a year and a half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the notorious anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was chaired by Franz Gürtner, the Reich Minister of Justice, and attended by officials who in the coming years would play central roles in the persecution of Germany’s Jews. Among those present was Bernhard Lösener, one of the principal draftsmen of the Nuremberg Laws; and the terrifying Roland Freisler, later President of the Nazi People’s Court and a man whose name has endured as a byword for twentieth-century judicial savagery. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to record a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals the startling fact that is my point of departure in this study: the meeting involved detailed and lengthy discussions of the law of the United States.

  • Fighting Corruption of the Historical Record: Nazi-Looted Art Litigation
    Fighting Corruption of the Historical Record: Nazi-Looted Art Litigation Jennifer Anglim Kreder* For the first time in history, restitution may be expected to continuefor as long as works of art known to have been plundered during a war continue to be rediscovered. -Ardelia R. Hall' I. INTRODUCTION Over the years, with a few praiseworthy exceptions, U.S. courts have dismissed many claims to recover Nazi-looted art on technical grounds, causing distortion of the historical record.2 This trend seems to reflect bias against these historical claims arising from a lack of historical knowledge. Tales of venerated institutions, such as the Museum of Modem Art (MoMA), acquiring what they knew or should have known was trafficked and laundered art may seem outrageous to those unaware of the infection of the market with art that had been stolen or extorted from Jews between 1933 and 1945. Even when judges recognize the plausibility of such claims,s attending to them requires judicial fortitude and dedication to sorting .

Newman* INTRODUCTION Taboos and unwritten social rules surrounding death, suicide and euthanasia have strangled candid discussion of these related topics for many years. Euthanasia-acting to produce a merciful death-has been a matter for whispered conversation among doctors, occasionally practiced1 but only recently publicly raised as a matter for "proper" debate. The grip of silence has been dramatically broken by various events, most notably: " the publication in a 1988 issue of the Journalof the American Med- ical Association of an article by an anonymous doctor recounting his administration of a lethal dose of morphine to a woman dying of 2 ovarian cancer, entitled It's Over, Debbie " a statement published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1989 by ten doctors associated with the nation's leading hospitals and medical schools declaring their belief that "it is not immoral for a physician to assist in the rational suicide of a terminally ill person" " the publication in 1991 in the New England Journal of Medicine of * Professor of Law, New York Law School.

  • The Life and Times of the American Journalsit Arno
    THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE AMERICAN JOURNALSIT ARNO DOSCH FLEUROT (1879-1951): DEFINING AMERICAN LIBERALISM IN WORLD WAR ONE ERA THROUGH THE LENSE OF FOREIGN REPORTING ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Angelina Slepchenkova Thesis Committee Approval: Volker Janssen, Department of History, Chair Benjamin Cawthra, Department of History Cora Granata, Department of History Summer, 2017 ABSTRACT This study examines life and times of Arno Dosch Fleurot (1879-1951), the American veteran newspaperman, who was a foreign correspondent in Europe since 1914 and reported to Americans about many important world events – World War One and World War Two, revolutions in Russia and Germany to name a few. The focus of this research is Dosch Fleurot’s experience as a foreign reporter during World War One and in the early 1920s, in the period that became the determinant for his professional and personal life. His witnesses and opinions about the war and its outcomes reflected in his articles for the Worlds Work, a monthly magazine, the New York World, and some other newspapers that published or syndicated his articles and his correspondence with family in Portland, Oregon exemplify the challenges the conflict brought to people with a liberal outlook. Indeed, the war experience raised doubts among the ranks of American liberals, and Dosch Fleurot was not the exception, about their core belief in the inevitable spread of democracy throughout the world. The purpose of this study is to examine Dosch Fleurot’s evolution of this idealistic belief and illustrate how American liberals tried to reconcile their advocacy of the spread of democracy with the national interests of the United States.
