Just came across this post from the U.S. Shoah Foundation: Reflections of Brother Kempler, who survived the Nazi camps as a Jew. There, he observed Jehovah’s Witnesses in a “camp within a camp” (to counter their preaching). After the war, he became one. This short clip is a must-see:

This brother was featured in the documentary movie  Knocking. Fourteen years ago I wrote up a post about it. His quoted words from that post are reproduced here: 

 

"It's difficult to speak to Jews. They say I became a traitor. Six million Jews died and I joined the other side.

"I was among those survivors who felt that God was really responsible and guilty. He was the one who permitted the Holocaust. So we didn't fail him, we didn't do anything wrong. He failed us. And this is  a very common belief.

"God is being maligned and misunderstood and in many different ways looked down upon as being uncaring or dead or whatever, and there are all kinds of distortions as to what God is and who he is. To be able to speak up in his defense....what a powerful turnaround from somebody where I was to become a defender of God...what  a wonderful privilege this is."
