It always astounds me that Holocaust deniers exist. Those who claim the systematic murder of Jews in Europe by Adolph Hitler is a hoax and has no factual evidence behind it often do so to advance antisemitic agendas.* Despite living Holocaust survivors, extant concentration camps, written and recorded testimonies from victims, photographs, artifacts, and other evidence, there are still those who will not accept the historicity of the Holocaust.
Dear friends at SI:
First, an apology.
I do feel bad that I have not been active here at SI for several years.
I can assure you my inactivity here has had nothing to do with SI. The last many years have been a blur. I will finish off 26 years as lead pastor at SVBC on Dec 31. This means I will have completed about 34 years of vocational ministry. On January1, I will transition from being lead pastor of Southeast Valley Bible Church to being full time in my work at the Institute of Biblical Leadership (IBL).

“I say Temple was ‘historic’ because its founding went back to 1892 and it was led for several years by a well-known but notorious pastor, J. Frank Norris… ‘The combined membership of the two churches was roughly 25,000’” - Ken Brown
