I grew up with a framed photograph of Helmuth hanging on my wall. His story has become part of my life. Thank you, Matt, for what you do.

I've watched the original truth and conviction documentary and I'm very excited to see a dramatization on it!

Looking forward to the series.

Helmuth will always be one of my ALL TIME HEROES of Humanity. RIL Helmuth. Really kool to hear His posthumous ReInstatement. Thanks for profiling this Great Covenant Israelite. Can't wait ro meet Him.

Was the book Elie Wiesel? It's a pretty popular one for high school teachers to use since he was a teenager at the time. I read it like fifteen years ago so I really don't remember any details except for him being a teenager and looking at himself in the mirror after spending years in a concentration camp and thinking he saw a lifeless corpse instead of himself.

Very interesting story

Thank you for shining light on this story. It's not one that makes church officials look good, but there's room for more understanding. We can't condone church officials failing to do the right thing, but we can be understanding. Understandable, but not OK. This teenager on the other hand - amazing! And I can't help but remember someone else that said "remember me", who was also executed by religious/political officials conspiring against him - because he spoke the truth.

That's my Uncle!!! Go Uncle Matt! ❤️👏👏👏👏

For his bravery, sticking to what Jesus said, for sacrfying his life against evil he deserves to be a saint!!!

Helmuth was certainly an inspiring individual. This video downplays the fact that there were MANY LDS Nazi/Hitler supporters both in Germany and N.America, even members of the 1st presidency (looking at you J. Reuben). Helmuth was an outlier and the church actually made efforts to suppress the story of Helmuth in the many decades after the dust from WWII settled. Tell the full truth of the story please, warts and all.

Second comment let's go bro

THe church certainly doesn't encourage members of the church in un-free countries to do things like this nowadays

Helmuth was excommunicated from the church. The church did not support him. Unfortunately. He was reinstated much much later after his death.

It’s what ethicists call “supererogatory.” It’s beyond what’s required of a moral person. Heroically moral. Not required of God, primarily because it’s like holding people accountable for trying to keep their families alive because of the evil of OTHER people. The moral contradictions are stark. Much like the difference between the Nephites defending themselves and the Ant-Nephi-Lehis refusing to defend themselves.

@@towardcivicliteracy Anti-nephi-lehi people were the greater heros for sure. Having the courage to protect your family - nonviolently. That takes the ultimate courage. True, it cannot be forced or even expected. It's beyond those things. Think Gandi, MLK Jr, etc. Think Jesus saying Love Your Enemy, and then living that by praying FOR his enemies as they tortured him to death. The Anti-nephi-lehi story shows that it can work, cost less lives than violent battle, and change hearts - real justice. Best story on the book of Mormon

@@leem3299 "The Anti-nephi-lehi story shows that it can work, cost less lives than violent battle, and change hearts - real justice. Best story on the book of Mormon" Yes, but just to clarify, it's not clear to me from the scriptures, that such heroic morality is always a good idea, generally. Though I don't know of any scripture that suggests this directly, it seems very plausible to me that violently defending oneself and others is not merely justified, on an individual level, but necessary for God's broader purposes--particularly to preserve a people in the earth and have a fighting chance to save other of his children while in mortality. There are also many, many pretty clear examples from the Book of Mormon, that God will generally command non-violent measures, if at all possible. (For example, the "exodus cycle" found in the Book of Mormon, where the people of God simply fled from wicked and/or tyrannical people.) But, those options might not be available, or the people are "ripe for destruction" (i.e., the justice of God can no longer be withheld).

How about doing one on Mormons in the Soviet Union. I’m sick to death hearing about Nazis and Hitler.

There is racism, homophobia, antisemitism, and Islamaphobia and are not too broadly defined. Racism = “Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or Marginalized” Homophobia = “encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender” Antisemitism = “Hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people” “hate or strong dislike of Jews, or actions that express hate of dislike of Jews” Islamaphobia = “the fear of, hatred of, or prejudice against the religionofIslam or Muslims in general, especially when seen as a geopolitical force or a source of terrorism.” Look under google to find these definitions for yourself, don’t take my word for it - I found it under these sources: Oxford Language dictionary and Wikipedia which used the same dictionary when quoting a definition.
