It was not only Jews...

This is a photograph of Hildegard Kusserow, a Jehovah's Witness. She was imprisoned for four years in several concentration camps including Ravensbrueck. This photograph was taken in Germany, date uncertain.

When I hear the word "Holocaust," I immediately think of the word "Jewish" or "Jew." It is important to realize that it was not only the Jews that suffered through the Holocaust, but also the disabled, homosexuals, gypsies, Slavic people, Communists, Socialists, and Jehovah's witnesses.
