This information could have already been posted, but if not here it is.
The Watchtower Society has printed thousands of articles on the subject of how bad things were during the holocaust. There is no doubt in my mind that things were bad. But was this the case for all Jehovah's Witnesses? Why don't we check out the information from an eye witness. What is even better is the fact that this eye witness was one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and was expelled for exposing the Watchtower for its lies about the holocaust.
This eye witness took over 30,000 photos of Auschwitz, and had the photos that the Watchtower feared being seen. Go to: www.abbc3.com/victims/index.htm
After you have checked on that information, then go to: www.jewishsf.com/bk990129/usswissbanks.htm Scroll down to the 5th and 6th paragraph. Do you wonder how big the slice of 1.25BILLION the Watchtower is going to get? Perhaps no one will ever know. Do you think this means that the JW members will be given a break in having to give their own donations for a while? Do you think the Watchtower will take everybody out to eat after the Sunday talk? You can draw your own conclusions.

The eye witness is Ditlieb Felderer, a proud-as-punch Holocaust denier - any statement he makes against the JWs is therefore valueless (IMHO). You can read about Mr Federer by clicking on this link (warning: his views are offensive)...

The referenced article suggests the JWs would recieve a pithy amount of the overall sum - and knowing the JWs, I'm guessing the money would go towards anti-Holocaust material eg Stand Firm videos?
Sorry Voyager, I don't feel your post highlighted a scandal or a coverup - but it does direct folk to anti-Semitic/Holocaust web material

Oh, yes! We've been through all this before-- in the Jjrizo era. He was finally deactivated for his fixation in repeatedly bringing up the subject which tried to minimize Jewish suffering in the holocaust. Simon asked him to desist, but he refused. He didn't exactly deny the holocaust, but tried to say that the concentration camps were merely labor camps; the number of deaths in the camps were exaggerated and where they did occur it was due to disease and malnutrition caused by the hardships of war and not to gas chambers. He never satisfactorily explained why the Jews (whatever the numbers) ended up in the labor camps in the first place. They certainly weren't volunteers. And their lives there were hell. But revisionists even question the veracity of survivors who narrated their experiences! So, they try to tell us that it really wasn't as bad as we've been told. Right! Not bad for the Nazis at all.
If you're interested in reading the pros and cons of holocaust revisionism, just conduct a search in this forum for holocaust deniers.
I read a brochure by Felderer, where he told that song and laughter and dance and playing soccer was part of the everyday life in the camps, that they were simply correction camps where life could be tough at times, but that was only due to the stubbornnesss of those refusing to be corrected. And the Witnesses had such wonderful lives. Debunking the claim that 60,000 Witnesses were killed? Debunking what claim? Nobody has ever claimed 60,000 killed Witnesses.
Using Nazis to attack Witnesses tells more about you than about the Witnesses!
The spoonsor of that page seems to be Radio Islam, as you can see on top. Propaganda is evident.
It is insulting to imply that the holocaust did not occur, but also insulting to know that the WT is filing for remuneration when all that money will not reach the affected families in any way.
