On October 5, 2006, the Museum offered a full day of programs and small artifact display about Jehovah’s Witness Victims of the Nazi era. The courage the vast majority of Jehovah’s Witnesses displayed in holding to their beliefs, despite Nazi persecution, won them the respect of many contemporaries.
These fragments of hand-painted wallpaper were created in 1943 by Franz Wohlfahrt, a Jehovah’s Witness imprisoned in Nazi Germany, at the request of the camp commandant.
