Description: This book provides a fascinating history of what Jehovah’s witnesses suffered under the Nazi regime. The author’s choice to only include accounts about Jehovah’s witnesses from the firsthand prospective of non-Jehovah’s witnesses prisoners provides a sobering ring of truth concerning the “special treatment” the Nazis reserved for Jehovah’s witnesses. This book also documents how despite their best efforts, including death by firing squad, the Nazis were unable to break these Christians into going against their bible-trained consciences.
Pleased be advised that some accounts in this volume are disturbingly graphic in detail!
