What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Jehovah’s Witnesses were persecuted for who they were. The Witnesses were persecuted wholly for their religious beliefs and because they did not believe in racism, in swearing allegiance to an evil, worldly dictator. And they didn’t believe in fighting his war. . . . Jews struggled to maintain their values and their faith against tremendous opposition. The museum celebrates such spiritual resistance. For that reason, this institution also acknowledges and admires the faith of Jehovah’s Witnesses during the Nazi era." in the context of "Historian Dr. Jud Newborn of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York City." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
