For example, German politician Steffen Reiche, former cabinet minister in the state of Brandenburg and later member of the German parliament, said: “The conduct of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the camps and prisons embodies virtues that are as essential today as they were in the past for the existence of a democratic constitutional state: namely, their steadfastness against the SS and their compassion toward their fellow prisoners.
Misalnya, politikus Jerman Steffen Reiche, mantan menteri dari negara bagian Brandenburg dan belakangan anggota parlemen Jerman, mengatakan, ” Saksi - Saksi Yehuwa di kamp dan penjara memperlihatkan tingkah laku yang bajik, yang mutlak dibutuhkan sekarang, seperti halnya dulu, demi kelangsungan negara konstitusional demokratis, antara lain keteguhan mereka menghadapi SS dan kebaikan hati mereka terhadap sesama tahanan.
