Special Issue: Jehovah’s Witnesses under two Dictatorships
Volume 34, Issue 2, 2006
|
This issue of Religion, State & Society brings together the work of four British and German scholars who have conducted research in recent years on the experiences of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the “Third Reich” and the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
The original papers were presented at a workshop held at Stafford in February 2004 which was co-organised by the Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Education and Research, Staffordshire University, and the History and Governance Research Institute of the University of Wolverhampton.
On the basis of newly available primary sources, as well as the testimonies of Witnesses themselves, the revised articles focus on the tribulations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the National Socialist concentration camps and in GDR prisons, the experiences of the children of Witnesses during the years 1933 to 1989, the policies of the two regimes, and the persecution of the Witnesses by the Ministry of State Security.
The publisher presents the fruits of collaboration with Mike Dennis, Professor of Modern German History at Wolverhampton University, on the subject of Jehovah's Witnesses under two dictatorships.
