Product Description

Product Description

This is the remarkable story of German and European Jehovah's Witnesses persecuted by the Nazis, who could have avoided persecution by simply renouncing their faith yet who refused in the majority of cases, instead continuing in their worship and criticism of Hitler's regime.

4.0 out of 5 stars An honest and detailed account of a little known atrocity, 2 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This book is written without doctrinal bias or attachment, by two well-respected French historians of the holocaust. The account is based on eye-witness documentation and interviews. There is also an extensive and very helpful glossary of terms and jargons used by the interviewees. It highlights the terrible persecution of a minority by a cruel and tyrannical regime. In our volatile and dangerous times, no one should forget those events, and as those who lived them become fewer in number, there is a danger that might happen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not without errors, 12 Aug 2006
By Ellen Goudsmit "Ellen" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a book about a group who resisted the Nazis but whose courage and suffering in and outside the camps are rarely recognised. The individual stories are very illuminating and remind us of the many good and decent people who earned the respect of other inmates, and some of the Nazis. However, there are gaps and errors. I know something about the Dutch Witnesses and their activities in Holland barely get a mention. Moreover, the authors describe Amersfoort and Westerbork as concentration camps. To my knowledge, there was only one concentration camp on Dutch soil: Vught.

I would have liked to read about the pre-war efforts to warn the rest of the population of the horrors in Germany, (unlike so many, they were not in denial), and I missed interesting details about their strategies within camps (e.g. they sang hymns when they arrived to alert other witnesses to their presence). These people were not just devout, they were clever. I should also have liked to know if they suffered post traumatic stress to the same extent as the other groups. There is a Dutch book which covers some of this, but it's not available in English.

In short, an iteresting book, but not as comprehensive as I would have liked.
