Between Resistance and Martyrdom: Jehovah's Witnesses in the Third Reich

Between Resistance and Martyrdom is the first comprehensive historical study of the persecution of Jehovahâ€™s Witnesses during the Holocaust era. Refusing to perform military service under Germanyâ€™s Third Reich due to their fundamental belief in nonviolence, Jehovahâ€™s Witnesses caught the attention of the highest authorities in the justice system, the police, and the SS.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Although persecuted and banned from practicing their beliefs by the Nazi regime in 1933, the Jehovahâ€™s Witnessesâ€™ 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 Jehovahâ€™s Witness literature and survivor interviews, Detlef Garbe chronicles the Naziâ€™s relentless persecution of this religious group before and during World War II.
Â Â Â 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.
