Before and during Word War II, the dictatorial Axis powers tried to wipe out Jehovah's Witnesses in many lands where religious leaders, particularly those of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, gave open or tacit support to oppressive dictators. But the 71,509v Witnessed who were preaching when the war started 1n 1945, even though upwards of 10,000 had spent long years in prisons and concentration camps and other thousands had been killed. The number of active Witnesses earth wide has expanded to well over three million today. Growth has been outstanding in Catholic lands and in countries where persecutions were most bitter- such as Germany, Italy, and Japan, in each of which the Witnesses are now reporting well over 100,000 active field ministers. - ISAIAH 54:17; JEREMIAH 1:17-19.
