Mennonites at War: From Curiosity to an Exhibit – Part 2
Andrea Klassen, Guest Author
Senior Curator, MHV Some of MHV s artefacts relating to Dietrich Klassen s military service during the Second World War. As his family described him when they donated these artefacts, Dietrich was both a lifetime member of a Mennonite church in Waterloo, Ontario as well as a very proud military man.
Mennonite Heritage Village’s (MHV) upcoming exhibit “Mennonites at War” explores the various responses Mennonites have had toward war and violence over their nearly five-hundred-year history. Last week’s Village News focused on the more common part of the conversation: the Mennonite belief in nonresistance and being conscientious objectors to war. This week, we look at the part of the exhibit that will explore Mennonites who responded to war and violence by taking up arms and joining the military.
