It is worth the read as it gives convincing proof that the Holocaust indeed did take place. In fact it points out the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses were the largest persecuted religious group by the Nazi (aside from the Jews).
If any here would like further information regards the JWs and the Holocaust you can visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

I posted that to OP, you dont need to get on your internet boxing gloves. I'm top bracket IQ, so I would go with what I said the more intellectual thing is. The more intellectual thing is to avoid this topic altogether.

I don't have to live with anything, nor do I have any advice for you. You made the grave error of assuming what the intellectual avenue would have been, to which I'm forced to respond.
Actually it gets down to the fact that you consider JW's "true christians"

By the numbers more Russians and Chinese died than Jews, and by proportion more Gypsies died than Jews.
The Jewish deaths are just a statistic within a very horrible time in history, Please don't let the suffering of the many be used as an agenda of a few.
The term Holocaust should refer to ALL that died (as it used to) and not just to the Jews, otherwise you are placing a group of peoples deaths higher than others.

Okay, you educated me. I read the OP and read it wrong. I read it as the JW saying that the Jews were not so persecuted. My bad. Yes, I know the JW were a persecuted group. NO...they were not the more persecuted and the statistics show they were not the more persecuted unless you want to go by per capita of population of the persecuted group. There weren't very many JW's in Germany at that time, but the per capita persecution of JW's was extraordinarily high.
But I did misread what the OP was trying to convey. While I don't agree with the JW bent on things, I do agree ALL groups that were labeled "threats" to the Hitler regime's plan were severely persecuted...to death. Now I understand the attack in the post a couple of posts up.edit on 7-18-2012 by Valhall because: (no reason given)
