A sister shared this with me in service today. The story behind the pic goes like this. The Berlin symphony orchestra sings our song “Give Me Courage”

The occasion for this unusual performance was a commemorative concert marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Jan 2025

The song was chosen for the following reason:   Historical Context-Jehovah’s Witnesses (then known as Bible Students” were persecuted under National Socialism because of their faith and were interned in concentration camps. 

The song symbolizes the religious resistance and steadfastness of the prisoners under the Natzi regime

 

I did not recognize the song instantly since it is in another language but once I could identify the song it was a goosebump moment. Hope y’all enjoy as much as I did!

I think that there is no book in the history of Germany that will be complete if it does not mention the relentless stand of the Jehovah's witnesses in that country against a regime that was clearly not doing the right thing.

 

Every right thinking person would admit that such an act deserves it's own place in any book on German history.

If you can’t stand it anymore then kneel.

The recording seems to have been done from the audience.  Someone stopped a few seconds early.  However, I know how the song ends...🧡
