"On Auschwitz" (17): prisoners with purple triangles - Jehovah’s Witnesses in Auschwitz

Activities by the Jehovah’s Witnesses were banned in the Third Reich in 1933 because of the Witnesses’ religious principles and pacifistic views, as well as their organization’s international connections. As a result, many of them were imprisoned in concentration camps. Teresa Wontor-Cichy from the Auschwitz Memorial Research Center talks about the history and fate of some 400 Jehovah’s Witnesses incarcerated in the camp.

You can find how many witnesses were shot beheaded and killed by just asking a witness to show you where to find the info. Plus just check the history in the Washington Holocaust Center. Also the Witnesses were honored at the center for thier good deeds to others. Its written down in history. All glory to Jehovah, YAHWEH!❤
