very interesting story (presented in 2 parts - top and bottom) - and interesting photo ----------------------------------------- keyword - Nazi - Stazi - Jews - anti semitism - beginning of WWII - Holocaust - genocide - the “Night of Broken Glass” — Nov. 9-10, 1938 — when thousands of synagogues, Jewish businesses, and homes were set ablaze or destroyed in Austria and Germany ------------------------------------ The Grynszpans had a 17-year-old son, Herschel, an illegal immigrant living in Paris, who was told of his family’s plight. The boy was able to acquire a gun. On Nov. 7 he went to the German embassy in Paris, gained entry, and shot and killed Ernst vom Rath, the first secretary of the embassy. The Nazi officials used this as an excuse to unleash waves of terror against the Jewish population in most large German cities, including Dresden. This was Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, Nov. 9–10, 1938, which resulted in the murder of 92 Jews, the deportation of tens of thousands to concentration camps, the destruction of more than 200 synagogues, and the widespread ransacking of Jewish businesses and homes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
