Answer 4

To the Concentration Camps!

Sticking to Jesus’ rule of being separate from the world, Jehovah’s Witnesses in n**i Germany refused to vote in the elections. The n***s submitted them to public humiliation. Max Schubert from Oschatz, Saxony, was put on procession in a horse-drawn wagon with a sign held by storm troopers, saying, “I am a scoundrel and a traitor to the Fatherland, because I did not vote.” He was paraded through the streets to the public chanting of, “Where does he belong?” The mob’s answer? “In a concentration camp!” Very soon thousands of Witnesses were consigned to those infamous camps. What were conditions like there?

An official British government publication on the state of things in Germany shows that already in 1933 “flogging and torture were the order of the day, and it was common knowledge in Germany that the National Socialist [n**i] movement was taking terrible vengeance on those who had the temerity to oppose it.” One ex-prisoner, who suffered at the Buchenwald concentration camp, stated: “The working hours were sixteen per day, Sundays and week-days alike. During these hours it was forbidden to drink, even in the hottest weather. . . . The work, of course, consists in moving heavy stones, often far beyond the strength of even a normal well-fed man.”

At that time, according to the British report, there were about 8,000 men in the camp, including “1,500 Jews and 800 Ernste Bibelforscher (International Bible Students). . . . Jewish prisoners wrote and received letters twice a month. The Bible Students were allowed no communication with the outside world . . . Herr X spoke with the highest respect of these men. Their courage and religious faith were remarkable, and they professed themselves ready to suffer to the uttermost. . . . Deaths took place daily in the camp.”

Answer 5

persevering through the atrocities... singing haTikvah (the hope) in the death camps.

Answer 6

Purple Triangle. Please take a look at this. Jehovah's Witnesses was given this patch because they choose not to pick up arms or salute Hitler.

Please read all of the article and enjoy the video. It makes you see just how well off we have it.

And one more thing please" Jehovah's People took sides. But, the side of Jehovah God. All they had to do was sign a piece of paper, and they were free. But, they have faith, and believe in Jehovah God and Jesus. I love being one of Jehovah's servants. I can't tell you the warm feeling inside, the integrity, or the fulfillment of serving Him gives.

Answer 7

Jw's are trying to comparee their suffering wit hthe jews

i wonder how that compares to the spanish inquisition?

jw's being persectured means that they are correct?

so the trinitarians being burned for reading a bible which was not the NWT must be correct also

and so the jews must be correct for facing genocide

istheir sufferning greaster than those JW's?

if so they must be right

Answer 8

hmm that's really difficult to answer.

I guess my religion was not doing anything, followers of my religion did. The majority of protestants was silent, part of it participated actively in the n**i politics, the holocaust and the war, another small part of it stood up and resisted the n***s and finally, some of them also went to concentration camps because they didn't want to join the n**i party or hid Jewish people in their houses.
