Between Resistance and Martyrdom

“This detailed and fascinating book includes new research and new insights into a topic that has received growing attention in the past two decades. . . At this point, Garbe’s study is the most sweeping account of the Jehovah’s Witness in the Third Reich…”—"Holocaust and Genocide Studies"
“"Between Resistance and Martyrdom" is a strong book that tells a compelling and deeply important, understudied story.”—Michael Berenbaum, author of "A Promise to Remember: The Holocaust in the Words and Voices of Its Survivors"
“The persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany under National Socialism is not a new subject, but Detlef Garbe's book takes historical scholarship to new levels of subtlety and sophistication. His insights into the moral and legal resistance mounted by the Witnesses against the Nazis both inside and outside concentration camps are path-breaking and provocative. All students of persecuted religious minorities are greatly in his debt for bringing to light so much fresh evidence concerning the role of Jehovah's Witnesses in resisting National Socialism. This is historical investigation of the highest importance and quality.”—James A. Beckford, University of Warwick
