Friday, April 17 The power beyond what is normal [is] God’s and not that out of ourselves.—2 Cor. 4:7. As the Nazi regime collapsed at the end of World War II, an order was given to eliminate thousands who remained in concentration camps. The inmates of the Sachsenhausen camp were to be evacuated to seaports where they would be loaded on ships and sunk at sea. This was part of a strategy later known as the death marches. Thirty-three thousand of the prisoners from Sachsenhausen concentration camp were due to march 155 miles (250 km) to Lübeck, a port city in Germany. Among them were 230 of Jehovah’s Witnesses from six countries, who were ordered to march together. All had been weakened by starvation and disease. How were our brothers able to survive the march? “We continually encouraged one another to keep going,†said one of them. Along with God-given “power beyond what is normal,†their love for one another helped them survive the ordeal. w13 8/15 3:1, 2
