How did the Jehovah's Witnesses Back Down Against the Nazis? (D35 Part 9)

Nazi Appeasement / The Declaration / Camp Cooperation? Nazi Appeasement Not only had Rutherford written a letter to Hitler in his Declaration of Facts, Harbeck who was the head of the German branch of Jehovah's Witnesses had also written a letter in an attempt to appease the Nazis. The Declaration While the Jehovah's Witnesses were the only group that were offered a declaration that they could sign to renounce their faith and leave the camps, some tried to convert to the JWs to escape the camps, and the Jehovah's Witnesses who signed the declaration were ostracized and in some cases disfellowshipped. Camp Cooperation? The Jehovah's Witnesses were not as unified in the camps as claimed. In many cases they were not able to cooperate with each other due to disagreements over their own prophetic interpretations they developed while in the camps, nor were they able to agree on what types of work they were allowed to do for the Nazis. ---------------------------------------- From Watchtower members who betrayed fellow members, Nazi appeasement, to Rutherford's anti-Semitic letter to Hitler. After reviewing documentation from the Scholars, and Nazi Archives, it is easy to see how this Jehovah's Witness whitewashing of the history leaves many unanswered questions. Join us as we unpack all of this as we discuss How Did the Jehovah's Witnesses Back Down Against the Nazis.
