In doing so, Parliament is taking into account the self-commitment of the Federal Republic of Germany in the resolution for the Holocaust memorial in the summer of 1999 to &#8220;commemorate all victims in a dignified manner&#8221;. In addition to the memorials to the persecuted homosexuals, the murdered Sinti and Roma and the victims of the \u00bbeuthanasia\u00ab murders, the Federal Foundation for the Murdered Jews of Europe will also be in charge of the memorial for the witnesses.<\/p><p>The Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses are the only religious community that has resolutely resisted the regime and helped other oppressed people from the first day of the National Socialist dictatorship \u2013 out of deep religious conviction, guided solely by humanity. They refused the Hitler salute, admission to state organizations and military service. They were persecuted, imprisoned in concentration camps, murdered \u2013 in the German Reich as well as in most of the conquered territories. At least 1,700 female and male witnesses lost their lives as a result of the Nazi tyranny.<\/p><p>&#8220;The planned simple work of art near the goldfish table in Berlin&#8217;s Tiergarten, which is intended to honor the murdered and the traumatized survivors whose suffering continued in the GDR, is long overdue,&#8221; says Uwe Neum\u00e4rker, Director of the Federal Foundation: &#8220;It honors the courage of Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses during National Socialism and at the same time sets an example for empathy, for religious tolerance and against the exclusion of minorities in the present.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0abba5e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0abba5e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2aaed8b\" data-id=\"2aaed8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69cab10 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"69cab10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b14c11e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b14c11e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1b1746\" data-id=\"a1b1746\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f099b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f099b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first public memorial service at <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/2b6FsV5E8RCZpAPP9\">the site of the planned memorial to Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses persecuted and murdered under National Socialism in Berlin&#8217;s Tiergarten<\/a> will take place <b>on June 24, 2023 at 12 noon.<\/b> The Stiftung Denkmal and the Arnold Liebster Foundation jointly commemorate the persecution and resistance of Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses.
