Penindasan Saksi-Saksi Yehuwa di Jerman Nazi

Saksi-Saksi Yehuwa mengalami penindasan keagamaan di Jerman Nazi antara 1933 dan 1945 setelah menolak masuk penugasan militer, masuk organisasi-organisasi Nazi atau bersekutu dengan rezim Hitler. Sekitar 10.000 pengikut SSY (separuh jumlah penganutnya di Jerman pada masa itu) ditahan, termasuk 2000 penganut dikirim ke kamp-kamp konsentrasi Nazi. Sekitar 1200 pengikut menjemput ajal dalam penahanan, termasuk 250 orang yang dieksekusi. Mereka adalah denominasi Kristen pertama yang dilarang oleh pemerintah Nazi.^[1]
