The Jehovah’s Witnesses were literally the only martyrs of the Holocaust,” Mr. Berenbaum says.
Well no, that statement couldn’t possibly offend anyone. Let alone, those whose families found themselves amongst the counted dead of some nearly 6million.
I wish all would read the article before commenting and look at this definition of “martyr” before any knee jerk reactions:
a person who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty of witnessing to and refusing to renounce a religion
Then they can ask why Berenbaum, a Jew, said what he did.
And actually read the article.
