Yes, of course!! Many people helped out the Jews by providing food and shelter. Raoul Wallenberg was a famous Jew rescuer that housed Jews in Swedish buildings. Another rescuer includes Paul Gruninger who backdated Jewish passports to allow Jewish refugees to enter Switzerland

There are no historical records of any religious or political organisation speaking out in defense of the Jehovah's Witnesses during their years of persecution under the Nazi other than their Christian bretheren. Individually there must have been some principled people that saw the injustice of the treatment the Witnesses were subjected to and moved to help them, but few records have been kept of such individual stories.

In general, other prisoners treated the homosexuals very badly indeed, and many were murdered by other prisoners.

Until recently many people had a Horror of homosexuality that almost defies description. Nobody helped them ... Worse still, when the camps were liberated, the homosexuals were often transferred to ordinary prisons.
