For more than 50 years, the history of the unprecedented resistance of Jehovah's Witnesses was concealed under the Nazi regime. Thanks to the support of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., as well as the support of the board of trustees of young German film and the cultural film funding of Lower Saxony, this film was created. It tells the story of Jehovah's Witnesses, who placed the principles, commandments, and prophecies of the Bible, above the laws of the National Socialist State.
