A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death" - Dr. Josef Mengele.

In that capacity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months.

The purpose of this series is to allow anybody to quickly gain a better understanding of those things as well as an appreciation of how that information is relevant today.

Jesus and the apostles thought the kings and prophets were important, so we should too. Their truths stand important today.

Eyewitness Bible Series: Luke is meant to imitate some of the stories Luke might have heard, as well as explore their meaning and importance. This series is true to the Bible, but fills in storylines based on history, geography, and imagination.

Genesis & Job describes the creation of Earth, gives the history of all mankind, and describes a brief history of the Israelite nation from its beginning until it moves to Egypt.

James was possibly the first New Testament book written, probably penned in the very late 40s AD. It is generally accepted that the book was written by James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church, also known as James the brother of Jesus.

Martin Luther pushed for its exclusion (as well as some other books) because he thought it crossed some Protestant doctrines.
