Our new online lesson is dedicated to the fate of some 400 prisoners of Auschwitz who were Jehovah’s Witnesses and Bible Students.

Because of their religious principles & pacifistic views, Jehovah’s Witnesses were persecuted in Nazi Germany.

The image displays a historical chart from the Auschwitz concentration camp, categorizing prisoners with specific colored triangular badges. Each badge color denotes a different group: political prisoners, criminals, emigrants, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, Germans avoiding work, among others. Additionally, there is a section showing various identifying patches and numbered overalls assigned to prisoners, including a patch labeled "Winkel." The image provides a stark documentation of the classification system used to categorize and dehumanize prisoners during the Holocaust. At the top, an inscription reads: “Markierungen für Häftlinge im Konzentrationslager,” translated to "Markings for prisoners in concentration camps.
