With the videotaped testimonies of nearly 52,000 Holocaust survivors, the Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education at USC is the largest archive of its kind in the world.
Movie director Steven Spielberg launched and financed the project in 1994 – a year after he completed the Oscar-winning “Schindler’s List – with the goal of taping interviews of all survivors of the “Shoah,” the Hebrew word for Holocaust.
Survivors in 56 countries have been interviewed since the project began, most of them Jews. However, the archives also include histories of Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others persecuted by the Nazis during World War II.

Per their own WatchTower Society literature, once in the concentration camps, the Jehovah’s Witnesses collaborated with camp management to improve their own lot. As a JW child, I vividly remember multiple occasions when JW Elders boasted how JW prisoners acted as housekeepers, barbers, etc for the Nazi Concentration Camp Management, and in other positions of trust and responsibility in the Camps.
Also, the WatchTower Society teaches its own brand of “replacement theology”, in which Jehovah’s Witnesses believe and teach that YHWH rejected the Jews as His chosen people, and replaced them with Jehovah’s Witnesses. As YHWH’s current “chosen people”, JWs HATE the Jews and all other peoples who they see as being followers of Satan.
Thus, the obvious question. Why does every Holocaust news report, almost mandatorily, mention the JWs in the same positive fashion as the other victims?
