Jehovah's witness in Nazi Germany?

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Germany's new chancellor. In the beginning, the Hitler government worked to conceal its violent and extremist nature. Hence, the Witnesses, along with millions of other Germans in early 1933, viewed the National Socialist Party as the legitimate ruling authority of the time. The Witnesses hoped that the National Socialist (Nazi) government would realize that this peaceable, law-abiding Christian group posed no subversive threat to the State. This was no offer to compromise Bible principles. As has been the case in other lands, the Witnesses wanted to inform the government of the true nonpolitical nature of their religion. It quickly became apparent that Jehovah's Witnesses were to be among the first targets of brutal Nazi suppression. The Witnesses were again branded as accomplices in an alleged Bolshevik-Jewish conspiracy. A campaign of persecution began. As a result, the Witnesses endured threats, interrogations, house searches, and other harassment by the police and SA (Hitler's Sturmabteilung, storm troopers, or Brownshirts). On April 24, 1933, officials seized and shut down the Watch Tower office in Magdeburg, Germany. After a thorough search yielded no incriminating evidence, and under pressure from the U.S. State Department, the police returned the property. By May 1933, though, the Witnesses were banned in several German states.

How did Sighet Jews know about the Holocaust before their deportation?

Having examined the situation in Sighet during the lead up to deportations I believe I may be able to provide you with the following information.

During world war two, about a year or two before Germany took over Hungary, the men were sent to labour camps. Families would hear back from them through letters which were moderated and at some point afterwards they would stop receiving any mail.

News of the war itself was broadcast over the radio, but the holocaust itself in the context of "extermination" was to some extent held from the public.

Restrictions in Sighet were subtle; First jews had to wear a star and were not allowed to work in certain professions. Then, they were not entitled to own business or property. Then a curfew.

Finally, when the germans arrived, they were displaced.

To answer your question, the general expectations of the jews in Sighet were that they were going to endure "forced labour". They believed that they were going to be put to work and assist in the war.

In the leadup...there were rumours about the concentration camp. But nobody was sure if this would affect hungary's jews; the germans were losing the war by this time and most were hoping to be liberated before the germans arrived.

They were displaced into ghettos, and then deported. Auschwitz could not have been imagined...

They did not know is your answer. It was rumoured, but not many escaped to tell the story (few did) they were expecting a labour camp being women and children...the inhumanity was not comprehended nor expected.

What was the name of the government agency dedicated to selling war involvement to the American people?

There's no US gov't agency "dedicated to selling war...". But there are public relation officers assigned to address issues to the public. And if they happen to be "politically correct" type of PR people, then they might meet that definition.

What are the lyrics to prisoner of society?

Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do

Oh yes we're on our own and there's nothing you can do

So we don't need no one like you

When did Yugoslavia end the war?

In the early 90's, there was a civil war in what was once Yugoslavia. This war ended with the Dayton Peace Accord in 1995. These conflicts are not in any way connected with the conflict Serbia/Kosovo in 1999, which was of completely different nature.

How tall was josef mengele?

He was 5'7" (170 centimeters). Maybe 173 cm when a young professional. But his records lie.

Photos show him on a very small frame bicycle, in a suit with apparent lifts in his shoes, a son who in 1977 said his father was "short" who had two lifelong spinal diseases that can reduce height by 6 inches..really...spongiform something for the discs and a smelly nasty disease. osteomyelitis.

I met Mengele in 2002 ( the 1979 death was an intel shill (as he worked for the West and needed to be able to travel a bit) and born about 1911 he was then down to 5 foot 2 inches. Great for being ignored ,but height for him always was an issue. I guess if he stayed at his sons Villa Almiran in Mougins he would have had the satisfaction of not being supposed to be the man of his past.

He sent children to the gas chambers if they were less than about 5 foot 2 inches so it is ironic his height (guessed by me from my encounter with the man) mimicked that he set for others, andsomeof whom beat the rap by putting stones in their shoes. Sadly. they must most all be dead now to tell this story. And every story has a back story. Twizzle..was that Weltanschauungskrieg?

What were the types of living conditions of the concentration camps in world war 2?

Living condition types in concentration camps varied camp by camp. See link below.

  • Open spaces with people jammed together and inadequate sanitation service, water and food. Not common.
  • Some camps had barracks style buildings with no running water or toilets. There were "bunks" with people stacked in them who were either alive or dying or sick.
  • The labor camps were slightly better in that the Jews had some clothes, shoes and coats so they could go to the labor sites they had to work at (as unpaid slaves). They were overworked and starved. Many died from starvation, exhaustion or sickness.
  • All the ghettos, concentration camps and labor camps were succumbed to starvation, brutal beatings, indiscriminate killings and rampant sickness.
  • The death camps had systematic modern methods of doing mass killing such as subjecting the Jews to large facilities labelled "shower rooms" but were actually mass poisoning facilities.
