A Voice Reaching Out and A Piercing Cry

Those Jews whom the Anglican Chaplain in Vienna baptised so that they could escape from the Nazis, where did they end up? Despite the fact that such Jews were included under the Nuremberg Laws and that many of them duly died in the Holocaust, most notably Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), they have never been able to settle as Jews in the State of Israel.

The State of Israel, where Sharia judges are appointed and paid by the State in order to dispense what is the law of the land to those born into certain ethnic minorities, where a whole Islamist city chooses to remain rather be transferred to Palestinian jurisdiction, where at least one parliamentarian calls openly for Jerusalem to become the capital of the Caliphate, where there are now hardly any Christians left in what was once the Christian city of Nazareth, and where no de jure (rather than de facto) recognition is accorded to Christian marriage tribunals and the like.
