This small boat was used by the Danes to smuggle Jews from Gillelje,

Here are a
few books written by Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. They say they owe their lives to those
Christians who aided them in their fight for survival and Jesus, the one they

to the Garden of the Righteous Gentiles, which leads to the Yad VaShem
Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. The
garden is filled with plaques and trees, to honor those Christians who saved
Jews, at risk of their own lives from the Nazis. Corrie Ten
Boom, the loving old woman whose book, The
Hiding Place, later became a film,[40] saved many Jews in her own
personal “hiding place” behind a double wall in her home. Corrie was a wonderful Evangelical Christian
who said she was willing to save Jesus’ people, the Jews, from the Holocaust
even if it meant her death. Even though
she was relentlessly beaten by the Gestapo, she never turned in any of the Jews
she was hiding. Recently, Corrie died
and her tree was placed in the Yad VaShem Memorial Park in Israel.
Corrie Ten Boom’s name plaque and tree. The famous Christian Swedish diplomat,
Raul Wallenberg, who some feel is still alive and incarcerated in Russia, saved
100,000 Jews. Dr. Bauminger describes
this “angel of mercy”:[41] “...Wallenberg rented 32
houses that he proclaimed a Swedish extraterritorial zone. Into these houses Wallenberg brought his
‘protected Jews,’ after having duly provided them with forged papers in the
name of the Swedish Embassy and the Red Cross.”[42] Bauminger went on to tell how Wallenberg
hid the Jewish children in “churches or private Christian homes,” and that: “
‘All this was done by a courageous man who had the strength of his convictions
to act according to his conscience and beliefs. As in the case of King Christian of Denmark, Wallenberg’s deeds
once more bring to mind the poignant thought:
how much greater could have been the number of survivors in the lands of
extermination, had there been others like him....’ ”[43]

built to honor the man who saved 100,000 Jews from
the Holocaust.
“ ‘...Only the church stood squarely across the path of Hitler’s
campaign....I am forced to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly.’ ” [44] “I am a Jew, but I am
enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene....No one can read the
Gospels [of the New Testament] without feeling the actual presence of
Jesus. His personality pulsates in
every word. No myth is filled with such
life.”[45] Albert Einstein
