Rosemarie Claussen

Rosemarie Claussen shares a special message of forgiveness and reconciliation. A message born from a difficult World War II childhood.

Marked as the goddaughter of Adolf Hitler, and as the child of a Nazi General, Rosemarie would learn at a very young age what loss was, as her father was killed for refusing to persecute the Jewish people. Rosemarie grew up in a Russian and US occupied Germany; a refugee in her own country. She was hated by her peers for the family she was born into, and by the world for the country she came from. The fear, poverty and persecution that she was forced to bear through these traumatic years became bitterness and hatred inside of her. Years after the occupation had ended, Rosemarie was still a prisoner to her own hatred and bitterness, but through the power of forgiveness her life changed tremendously. God is now using this message of forgiveness all over the world to bring healing and restoration to many people. You can read more about Rosemarie's touching testimony in here book "Tears Turn to Diamonds" which has been translated into over 10 different languages.

Together with her husband Tilo Claussen, they founded "Josuamission International" in 1976. The center of the mission is located in Sweden. After the death of her husband in 2005, Rosemarie stepped in as the President of Josuamission.

The message of forgiveness that God has given Rosemarie to share crosses over denominations and nations. It is her desire to see person reconciled to person, nation reconciled to nation, denomination reconciled to denomination, and the church reconciled to the Jewish people.
