Jason Hensley was born in California and lives in Los Angeles and for many years has been a member of the Christadelphian Church or ecclesia at Simi Hills.

Jason is the principal of a small private school, Heritage College in California and a professor of religion and Holocaust studies at Gratz Academy. He frequently lectures on the Holocaust, as well as the Bible, Christianity, Judaism and related topics throughout North America.

Jason joins wildernessconversations to discuss a book he authored, entitled:

“Part of the Family: Christadelphians, the Kindertransport and the Rescue from the Holocaust”

The book concerns the The Kindertransport and in particular the role Christadelphians played in assisting hundreds of Jewish children as persecution broke out just before Britain declared war in 1939.

In 1938 and 1939, via a movement known as the Kindertransport, thousands of Jewish children were taken from Nazi occupied territories to safety in Great Britain. They came to a new family, a new country, and a new life. Approximately 250 of these children were sponsored by Christadelphians. They became “part of the family.” Their stories of survival, triumph over evil, and hope should never be forgotten.

Jason writes: “Often the Holocaust is considered in terms of statistics: how many perished and how many were affected, so much so that at times the individual stories are lost in the numbers. This (referring to the book) examines the experiences of the individuals who came to England as children and lived with Christadelphians.”

In Jason’s book “Part of the Family” he brings to light the details of some of these child survivors, and their families.

Jason has a website: Part of the Family

The book is available on Amazon.

Greg Palmer and Phil Shaw are the authors of the book entitled Hard Questions – Real Answers

We did an introductory conversation in January and due to the request of a number of listeners, Greg and Phil return for the final time to discuss some Real Answers to some Hard Questions under the headings of:

Questions about Morals and Ethics.

The cover of the book says:

In an age when the very existence of God is doubted, it is no surprise that the reliability of the Bible, which claims to be His word, is questioned. For Bible believers there is ample evidence to support its claims; even so, it contains statements and incidents that can be difficult to understand.

This book asks a series of challenging questions about life, faith and practical Christian living, and offers some Bible-based answers. Throughout the book the authors endeavour to provide “simple, yet credible solutions so that faith might be supported and thinking realigned to the divine mind”.

Rami Sherman lives in a kibbutz in northern Israel.

46 years ago, Rami was the Operations Officer of the Sayeret Matkal Commando unit in the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force when the news filtered through that an Air France plane had been hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. The plane ended up in Entebbe, Uganda.

Yitzhak Rabin and his defense minister Shimon Peres were fierce political rivals and they spent a week disagreeing on strategy. Rabin wanted acquiesce to the terrorists’ demands — the exchange of the Jewish hostages for 40 incarcerated Palestinian militants and a good deal of money; Peres thought such a response would encourage more terror.

Rabin gave in and authorised the rescue after the terrorists’ extended their deadline — from July 1st to the 4th which gave Israeli military chiefs enough time to come up with a viable plan.

The operation was codenamed Operation Thunderbolt, subsequently changed to Operation Yonatan and the order came to Sayeret Matkal and two other commando units that they were up for a top secret mission.

Rami speaks with Wilderness conversations and recalls the scarcely credible events of July 4th 1976 when he and elite forces of the IDF rescued 102 Jewish and Israeli hostages from capture in Entebbe, Uganda.
