Q: Why did most witnesses not renounce their faith, instead of being killed? A: Jehovah’s Witnesses were still prosecuted very harshly, but had the choice of being persecuted or not. They had the choice to either renounce their faith, or not. “ Small as the movement was, it offered, in scholar Christine King's words, a "rival ideology" and "rival center of loyalty" to the Nazi movement.” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). The Jehovah’s Witnesses were not persecuted any differently than the other groups, they were not as persecuted as the gays but still received recommendation as being persecuted by the Nazis. "Some five thousand Jehovah's Witnesses were sent to concentration camps where they alone were 'voluntary prisoners', so termed because the moment they recanted their views, they could be freed. Some lost their lives in the camps, but few renounced their faith." (Hans Hesse) [|Click Here] for more information to go to home page, click here
