Voices from the Holocaust, by Sylvia Rothchild, contains a series of memoirs by Jews who survived Nazi concentration camps. Survivor Sally Grubman, a schoolteacher in Lodz when the Nazis came to power, was taken to the camp at Auschwitz and later to Ravensbrück. Her experiences there prompted this observation: “I saw people who became very, very good and people who became absolutely mean. The nicest group were the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I take my hat off to those people. They were born martyrs. They did marvelous things for other people. They helped the sick, they shared their bread, and gave everyone near them spiritual comfort. The Germans hated them and respected them at the same time. They gave them the worst work but they took it with their heads high.”
Jehovah's Witnesses also were every day given the opportunity to be set free if they renounced their faith. Few did. Jews were never given this choice. When you think of them today remember this.

I understand that there were 4 classifications in the camps.
Each group was distinguished by a patch on the sleeve and the color of the patch.
Jews
JW's
Gypsies
Political prisoners
Your point is true. Interesting to me is how this simple truth will just be ignored or even ridiculed by many who respond to it.
My guess is they are not JW's, or gypsies, or Jews.
I hope at least they are human.

Mexicans are not going through a Holocaust. Things like that are illegal these days.

Jehovah's Witnesses endured terrible persecution at the hands of Hitler's Satanic agents.

Did you know that their Leader put them in that situation unnecessary. Did you know that their leader(JW's) wrote Hitler a letter agreeing with Hitlers condemnation of theJews. Thus calling attention to themselves and their people as a whole.

How dare you compare your false religion with the Jews who went through that awful time!
IF any JW's were there it was simply a case of "wrong place, wrong time" not some righteous act. This does not make their doctrine any more right than it was before you posted this. I suppose one should give it up to you for trying to prop up your false belief system. Wouldn't it be easier to embrace the truth than to keep on proping up this ...thing?

And they finally settled their sexual abuse cases, out of court. I'll remember that much.
