Institute Marks Sunday Memorial

The Ecumenical Institute for Jewish-
Christian Studies has designated Sunday,
April 18, as Holocaust Memorial
Sunday. The date was selected because
it's the Sunday following Yom HaShoah,
the day set aside each year to remember
the Holocaust and consider how that
watershed event changed the course of
human history.
A question raised by the Shoah for
the Christian community: how could
the Holocaust have happened in
Christian Europe, in the very birthplace
of the Christian reformation?
Says David Blewett, executive direc-
tor of the Southfield-based Institute:
"In many ways, the Holocaust affects
Christians and Christianity in a manner
opposite to how it affects Jews and
Judaism. While Jews were obvious vic-
tims, Christians were often murderers,
accomplices, indifferent bystanders and,
only in comparatively small numbers,

),
helpers and rescuers.
Influenced by centuries of Christian
teaching that negated any significance of
Judaism and that maligned the Jewish
people, Blewett said, the majority of
Christians turned their backs on the
well-organized, government-sanctioned
persecution of the Jews.
"That some Christians did act loving-
ly and sacrificially," he said, "does not
change or redeem the dreadful record
that most church members and officials
did not."
The Ecumenical Institute has a vari-
ety of resources to help give special sig-
nificance to this Sunday. Churches are
arranging for survivors to speak to their
education classes or including special
prayers, readings, candle-lighting cere-
monies or sermons.
