Absolutely. None of my comments are directed at you. Rather the author.

It’s difficult to read the article in its fullness for this statements alone.

I contacted Mr. Berenbaum and asked him to clarify his comment made here, he did and I'm awaiting his permission to quote that reply in this forum. As soon as he does I will post it. It will either be in next few minutes or not at all.

Mr. Berenbaum returned my e-mail with permission to use his reply here. In answer to my request for clarification of his comment in the article, he said,

“I think it better to say that the Jehovah's Witnesses as a group were the only “voluntary victims” of the Holocaust. Individual Jews were certainly martyrs, the Jews as a group, as a people were victims.
By that I mean, that had the Witnesses been willing to renounce their faith or cease to proselytize, they would have been released from the concentration camps. Believing Christians — including Ministers, Priest and Nuns — whose had themselves converted to Christianity or whose parents and in some cases grandparents had converted to Christianity —war victimized as Jews. Certainly not by choice.

Does that make it more clear.

A gracious reply to someone he doesn't know at all, compare it to the comments of some of these self styled “Christians”!
