As you no doubt know, Hitler persecuted many groups. Hitler was trying to make a "master race," and to do so, he felt that he needed to eradicate any who were deemed by him to be unfit. Jews, Blacks, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, Polish, homosexuals, and any who differed in political ideals than he did were persecuted. There is much information about the Holocaust at the U.S. Holocaust Museum's website at www.ushmm.org Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I have studied about Hitler's tirade against the Witnesses. Hitler attempted to stamp out the existence of my fellow Witnesses in Germany. The reason was that JW's all over the world had spoken out against Hitler. In fact, the organization's leaders had publically spoken out against Hitler even at the very beginning of his rise to power in the early 1930's, before the world at large had become aware of his schemes. In Nazi Germany Witnesses refused to perform the "Heil Hitler" salute. The reason, is because the phrase means, "salvation comes from Hitler." Jehovah's Witnesses believe that salvation comes from Jesus Christ. So therefore, they could not salute a man(Hitler) in this way. In the concentration camps, all a Witness had to do to be released, was to say "heil Hitler," and sign a document renouncing their faith. If they did that, they would be released, and would not face possible death in the camp. Only a handful of Witnesses succumbed to this temptation. The overwhelming vast majority refused, and many died for this. There is much more information, as well as personal testimony from survivors at the website I mentioned.
