Bringing God's Love to Holocaust Survivors

Helping Hand Coalition, a family-run ministry to Holocaust Survivors who live in Israel has been finding many different ways to bring God’s love to these precious elderly people. One of their projects links up Survivors in Israel with Christians from Germany who have a desire to reconcile after the terrible events of the Holocaust and bring God’s love and healing to the ones who were victims of their nation’s atrocities. We have witnessed first hand the healing experienced in the room when repentance and forgiveness is flowing.

“Even during such challenging times for Israel, there are still German guests visiting and interacting with the survivors of the Holocaust they support through the GAiN Sponsorship Program,” shared Helping Hand Coalition. “So much joy and emotion could be felt from both sides. Geniah felt so special to have her international friends coming to her house to meet her in person and spend time with her and bring her warmth, love and gifts.”

During the lead up to Biblical Holiday times like Purim and Passover, Helping Hand Coalition distributes supermarket vouchers to those in need to help them to also experience the celebrations with joy.

“Some of the German families who are part of the GAiN Sponsorship Program sent parcels, special gifts and love messages to so many Holocaust survivors before the Passover celebrations in Israel in early April,” shared HHC. “It was so great to see smiles of appreciation on the faces of the elderly, who very much appreciate the gifts and visits from Helping Hand Coalition.

“It’s been a very difficult year for Holocaust Survivors in Israel, one survivor we serve recently shared how October 7th shook her and her fellow survivors more than the Holocaust itself. She said, “Purim is a celebration of survival. But before the victory, there was fear. During the Holocaust, we were Jews in exile, without a country—powerless, defenceless. But on October 7th, we felt that Israel itself could be lost.”

Pray for Holocaust Survivors in these days, that they will not be overwhelmed by fear but will receive the peace of God in their hearts.
