    First Major Scholarly Study
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2008*

German scholar Detlef Garbe, now director of the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial, produced the first comprehensive historical account of the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses by the Nazi regime. Garbe went to great lengths to produce as accurate account as possible. (There are 210 pages of footnotes and a 40 page bibliography.) He researched a wide range of resources: Nazi government archives, newspaper archives, private documents, unpublished reports, concentration camp memorial archives, Watch Tower Society publications (in English and German), personal interviews of participants, memoirs of non-Witnesses prisoners that were imprisoned with Jehovah's Witnesses, accounts written by former Witnesses, ect. All to get as many verified facts as possible. This resulted in what is now considered the standard scholarly account about the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses under National Socialism.It must be said that this book is not an easy read. It's not a novel. It's a scholar writing a book for other scholars. There are many footnotes and abbreviations. Garbe always uses the correct terminology to refer to people, places, and ideas  But still this book is a fascinating read. You just can't help but wonder why the Nazis spent so much time and effort to try get this small minority (about 25,000 out of 65,000,000 Germans in 1933) to conform to Nazi standards. Yet the Nazis were never able to completely shatter the core of this group. As Garbe says in the preface, page xvii:"This book reports about religious people who refused to conform to the Third Reich but whose faith in God and trust in his biblical promises gave them the strength to preserve their respect for life, even during those difficult times."This book is a translation based on the 1999 4th German edition of Detlef Garbe's Zwischen Widerstand und Martyrium: Die Zeugen Jehovas im "Dritten Reich".

    meaning the superior race, the Aryans
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018*

This is the most exhaustive study done on one of the few churches to resist the Nazis and the Darwinisic eugenic programs it supported. A review of the history of the eugenics movement finds that a major source of support was from churches and ministers, the very ones who should have opposed it on the grounds that it is contrary both to scientific fact and foundational Christian teaching. In view of the harm that the eugenics doctrine caused in Germany, the United States and many other countries, it is obvious to most all persons today that it was wrong to support it. The extent and reasons for church support of eugenics will now be discussed in some detail. Nowhere did the churches cave in to eugenics more fully than in Nazi Germany. As one scholar explained, using undisguised Nazi racism terms, the German Church confessed its “allegiance to the principles of blood and race” and strongly held that only those who possessed the rights of German citizenship, meaning the superior race, the Aryans.

    Truth History
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020*

A lot has been written of the Holocaust, but not much said about the Jehovah's Witnesses. This book theorally explain what the Jehovah Witnesses went through those terrible times, but builds up your faith to see how they endure this trail and overcame them with the help of Jehovah God.
