"Between Resistance and Martyrdom" is the first comprehensive
historical study of the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses during
the Holocaust era. Refusing to perform military service under
Germany's Third Reich due to their fundamental belief in
nonviolence, Jehovah's Witnesses caught the attention of the
highest authorities in the justice system, the police, and the SS.
Although persecuted and banned from practicing their beliefs by
the Nazi regime in 1933, the Jehovah's Witnesses' unified
resistance has been largely forgotten. Basing his work on a wide
range of sources, including documents and archives previously
unconsidered as well as critical analyses of Jehovah's Witness
literature and survivor interviews, Detlef Garbe chronicles the
Nazi's relentless persecution of this religious group before and
during World War II.
The English translation of this important work features
photographs not published in the German edition. These striking
images bring a sense of individual humanity to this story and help
readers comprehend the reality of the events documented. "Between
Resistance and Martyrdom" is an indispensable work that will
introduce an English-speaking audience to this important but
lesser-known part of Holocaust history.
