How I Chose My Subject<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose Jehovah Witnesses and the holocaust. Why I chose this topic is, because I\u2019m a Jehovah Witnesses! How I discovered this topic, my mom saw a book on the holocaust at our schools book fair. My parents thought we should get it. So we did, and when I saw Jehovahs Witnesses in the book I was puzzled! My mom started telling me how Jehovahs Witnesses were persecuted and tortured. I was getting interested in it. And a few days later we decided we should do it on Jehovahs Witnesses and the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So onto how this poster was made! So first of all, after I finished school we went to a store and purchased the products needed for this poster. It took at least three quarters of our day, but we got it done! Now onto how we found the research. So we got the book at the book fair like i said, and we purchased a bunch of books online, watched videos, we went on websites, for example, the United States Holocaust Memorial website. and munch more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now onto how this project relates to this theme. It was a tragedy because, he wanted to kill and exterminate the brood of Jehovahs Witnesses. Now onto how it was a triumph, how this was a triumph was SOME Jehovahs Witnesses died, but not all Jehovah Witnesses died. Therefore, Hitler DIDN\u2019T win he wanted ALL Jehovah Witnesses to die. Even if they all died they never gave in to Hitler and the Nazis. They didn\u2019t sign the sheet saying they would serve Hitler and didnt say hiel Hitler which means only salvation is from Hitler. They stayed faithful to Jehovah. Wolfgang Kusserow was exsecuted but stayed faithful to Jehovah and wrote a letter that encouraged him and his family and many people including me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some important facts about Jehovah Witnesses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
