The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Have you ever considered homeschooling your children, but you had no clue where to start or if you could even handle it? Amber O’Neal Johnston offers a treasure trove of wisdom for the aspiring homeschool parent. She entered the homeschooling arena with all four of her kids, after her husband asked her to “just try it for a year.” Surprisingly, she fell in love with the endless opportunities afforded at home versus public school, and now, she helps other parents discover a new lifestyle that works for them. Amber edited Homegrown - Guidance and Inspiration for Navigating Your Homeschooling Journey. In addition, she offers resources and curriculum recommendations on her site, HeritageMom.com. She gives helpful advice for how to start your own homeschooling atmosphere, and encourages parents to lean into their confidence and trust God with the process.

Have you ever heard of Operation Paperclip? Originally called Operation Overcast, it was a top-secret U.S. operation that brought countless Nazi researchers, scientists, and engineers to America, where U.S. officials sought to utilize their research. Colin Heaton is an expert on Operation Paperclip and a historian and the president of CD Heaton Historical Consultants. Colin highlights some of the top Nazi minds that were brought to the U.S. during the operation, why they were coveted for their knowledge, and how they persecuted not just the Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also many Allied prisoners of war. Colin’s newest book release, The Star of Africa, details the life of German Luftwaffe Captain Hans-Joachim Marseille.

TAKEAWAYS

Each Nazi researcher or scientist had his own motivations for their work

Some German scientists wanted nothing to do with Hitler, but feared for their lives if they did not assist the Nazis

Colin’s deep interest in World War II history began during the 1970s, when he was reading a book about German fighter pilots

Operation Paperclip was a huge secret, since recruiting foreign nationals for U.S. military work would have been prohibited

Brian Slater was raised in a traditional but non-religious Jewish family in California. It wasn’t until God intervened in his life and rescued him out of the darkness of addiction that he began to embrace the true Messiah, Yeshua. Brian started helping others in the Los Angeles area who suffered from addiction issues, and as he served others, his heart for them grew. He felt called to move (aliyah) to Israel in 1996, and today, he is the CEO of Abundant Bread of Salvation, a food pantry that serves not only Holocaust survivors, but those suffering in Israel amid the volatile Middle East war. Every week, his ministry reaches approximately 400 people. Relying totally on volunteers, Abundant Bread of Salvation has been reaching “pre-believers” for more than 15 years, and seen many receive Yeshua as their personal Savior.

TAKEAWAYS

The Bible says that Jesus will bring the scattered back to Zion (Jeremiah 31:10)

The ‘Adopt-a-Holocaust’ Program provides help and services to elderly Holocaust survivors in Israel

Israel is a dangerous place right now amid the war, with many Israelis living under constant threat and poverty

The Holocaust is not just a Jewish story - it’s a story of humanity. So says Naftali Schiff, a rabbi and the founder and CEO of Jewish Futures. Naftali co-authored the gripping book, Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped the Gas Chamber at Auschwitz. It chronicles the real, incredible story of a group of Jewish boys who survived the hellish gas chambers at Auschwitz. The eye-opening book also has an accompanying documentary that highlights the gripping stories of Holocaust survivors. Naftali emphasizes the importance of sharing this tragic and terrible history with our children. The truth must be preserved for future generations, even if it is uncomfortable. The stories of those who lived - or died - at Auschwitz remind us that persecution is never more than one generation away.

TAKEAWAYS

We must teach our children to embrace good and reject evil and stand up for what is right

Not many Christian churches directly discuss the history or impact of the Holocaust

Not many Holocaust survivors are still alive today, and soon, the world will rely merely on the memory of their testimonies

We live in a world of digital ‘fakes,’ but the Holocaust reminds us that evil is very real
