On that momentous day, I was among those present when a high government official at the Ministry for Religious Affairs in East Berlin handed over the document bestowing legal status on Jehovah’s Witnesses in what was then called the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany.
Olin sel ülitähtsal päeval kohal, kui Ida - Berliini Usuasjade Ministeeriumi kõrge riigiametnik andis üle dokumendi, mis kinnitas tookordse Saksa Demokraatliku Vabariigi ehk Ida - Saksamaa Jehoova tunnistajate seaduslikku seisundit.
