Jehovah’s Witnesses Martyrs of the Holocaust?
Question by Adamantium: Jehovah’s Witnesses martyrs of the holocaust?
The Swedish government has produced a book on the Holocaust entitled Tell Ye Your Children, which has been distributed throughout the country free of charge to all households with children. This publication notes that Jehovah’s Witnesses “refused to swear an oath of allegiance to Hitler and Nazi Germany. Such resistance is exceptional because merely signing a document declaring their allegiance would have ended their persecution—yet few chose this option.”
Jehovahs Witnesses were the only group given a choice to stay in the concentration camps or swear allegiance to hitler.
Historian Brian Dunn stated: ‘Jehovah’s Witnesses were incompatible with Nazism. Most important of the Nazi objections to them was their political neutrality. This meant that no believer would bear arms, hold office, take part in public festivals, or make any sign of allegiance.

There were millions of people persecuted by the Nazis, even Germany’s own people, forcing the kids into battle. etc. Its ridiculous to single out “maryrs” when anyone who came out alive is a miracle.
