Joel Barder writes: I remember 7 October vividly. It was a day when life suddenly changed; and the reality I normally hide away came back to the surface like a whirlwind.
As an evangelical, trusting in the authority of Scripture, my relationship with my Jewishness has been a life-long struggle.
My father is Jewish – our family fled Krakow, Poland in the 19th century. During the Holocaust, it is believed more than 90% of Krakow’s Jews were murdered. There were roughly 70,000 Jews in Krakow in 1939 at the outbreak of WW2 (about 25% of Krakow’s population), and today there are roughly 100 or so.
