THE MEMBERS OF THE JEHOVAH WITNESSES ARE FOND OF ATTACKING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMING THAT WE SUPPORTED THE NAZIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE POPE CONDEMNED THE NAZIS AND WE WERE THE ONE WHO HELPED THE JEWS HIDING IN EUROPE INSIDE OUR MONASTERIES, CONVENTS AND SEMINARIES. NOW, HERE IS THE PROOF THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SUPPORTED THE NAZIS:
Following is an English translation of the Letter to Hitler from 1933
"Dear Reichskanzler,
…The Brooklyn headquarter of the Watchtower Society is pro German
in an exemplary way and has been so for many years. For that reason, in
1918, the president of the Society and seven members of the board of
directors were sentenced to 80 years in prison, because the president
refused to use two of the magazines published in America under his
direction for war propaganda against Germany. These two magazines, "The
Watchtower" and "Bible Student" were the only magazines in America which
refused to engage in anti-German propaganda and for that reason were
prohibited and suppressed in America during the war.
In the very same manner, in course of the recent months the board of
directors of our Society not only refused to engage in propaganda
against Germany, but has even taken a position against it. The enclosed
declaration underlines this fact and emphasizes that the people leading
in such propaganda (Jewish businessmen and Catholics) also are the most
rigorous persecutors of the work of our Society and its board of
directors. This and other statements of the declaration are meant to
repudiate the slanderous accusation, that Bible Researchers are
supported by the Jews.
… The conference of five thousand delegates also noted - as is expressed in the declaration - that the
Bible Researchers of Germany are fighting for the very same high
ethical goals and ideals which also the national government of the
German Reich proclaimed respecting the relationship of humans to God, namely: honesty of the created being towards its creator.
The conference came to the conclusion that there are no contradictions
when it comes to the relationship between the Bible Researchers of
Germany to the national government of the German Reich. To the contrary,
referring to the purely religious and unpolitical goals and efforts of
the Bible Researchers, it can be said that these are in full agreement
with the identical goals of the national government of the German Reich.
… We are looking forward to your kind approval, which we hope
to receive soon, and want to assure our highest respect to you,
honorable Mr. Reichskanzler.
Yours faithfully,
Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society Magdeburg"
The declaration of facts was reprinted in the Yearbook 1934 pp.134-138. It went on to state in part:
"It is falsely charged by our enemies that we have received financial
support for our work from the Jews. Nothing is farther from the truth.
Up to this hour there never has been the slightest bit of money
contributed to our work by Jews. We are the faithful followers of Christ
Jesus and believe upon Him as the Savior of the world, whereas the Jews entirely reject Jesus
Christ and emphatically deny that he is the Savior of the world sent of
God for man's good. This of itself should be sufficient proof to show
that we receive no support from Jews and that therefore the charges
against us are maliciously false and could proceed only from Satan, our
great enemy. The greatest and the most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the
commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and
carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the
peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the
cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact
is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city
of New York which says: The Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it,
and the Americans pay the bills.
The present government of Germany has declared emphatically against Big
Business oppressors and in opposition to the wrongful religious
influence in the political affairs of the nations. Such is exactly our
position.
Instead of being against the principles advocated by the government of Germany, we stand squarely for such principles,
and point out that Jehovah God through Christ Jesus will bring about
the full realization of these principles and will give to the people
peace and prosperity and the greatest desire of every honest heart.
A careful examination of our books and literature will disclose the fact
that the very high ideals held and promulgated by the present national
government are set forth in and endorsed and strongly emphasized in our
publications and show that Jehovah God will see to it that these high
ideals in due time will be attained by all persons who love
righteousness.…
Let us remind the government and the people of Germany, that it was the
League of Nations compact that laid upon the shoulders of the German
people the great unjust and unbearable burdens. That the League of
Nations compact was not brought forth by the friends of Germany."
In 1999, the Watchtower Society applied for compensation payable to itself. As of September 28th, 2009 www.swissbankclaims.com contains the letter from the Watchtower Society, or Click Here
for a PDF copy of the Watchtower application letter. Included is the
request they receive a portion of the funds on the following basis;
"Some Witnesses died prematurely and left no heirs to make a claim to
the Swiss Bank Settlement Fund. However, the legacy of spiritual
resistance that they left behind is of great value in the education of
future generations about the importance of standing up for the dignity
and value of human life. Representing these individuals, the Watch Tower
would be pleased devote any allocated moneys solely to the interests of
Holocaust education and the remembrance of the prisoners who bore the
purple triangle, according as the court might stipulate."
