Dachau: a silent witness

by Arthur Katz

About the author

Art Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1929 of Jewish parents. Raised through the depression years and turbulence of World War II, and inducted into Marxist and existentialist ideologies, as well as merchant marine and military experiences, Art was brought to a final moral crisis as a high school teacher—able to raise, but not able to answer the groaning perplexities of the modern age.

During a leave of absence and on a hitch-hiking odyssey through Europe and the Middle East, the cynical and unbelieving atheist, vehement anti-religionist and anti-Christian was radically apprehended by a God who was actively seeking him. The actual journal of that experience, Ben Israel – Odyssey of a Modern Jew, recounts his quest for the true meaning to life, which climaxed significantly and symbolically in Jerusalem.

Reviews

[Eli · Rating 5 out of 5]

A profound criticism of inauthentic religion and a call to tremble at God's word. Truth must be loved above comfort. Full of incisive questions.

[Matthew Croswhite · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read many powerful books, but this takes the crown.

[Chris Olive · Rating 5 out of 5]

A prophetic word that Jew and Gentile need to hear but most will dismiss out of hand. Ironic, since this sentiment and continuing blindness to the Ageless Character of God and His Judgements (based on our pithy "opinions") are the very deception and reaction Art attempts to warn us about. A feeling of grotesque at the reading of this hits at the heart and is the litmus test for determining how many are still completely blind to these truths.
