You refer to Nazi Germany that did “terrible things they did to a lot of Jewish people”, you don’t have to remind me about it.
Today, November 9th – remembering is more important than ever.
85 years after the night of the pogrom, fear is back, eyewitnesses speak of the shameful events of November 9, 1938.
Around 1,400 synagogues were vandalized on November 9, 1938
An eerie atmosphere is spreading in Germany. 85 years after the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 9, 1938, Jewish schools must be protected, and shops are defaced with anti-Semitic signs. In October, perpetrators tried to set fire to a synagogue in Berlin.
Should we fear times like these?
“Yes and no,” says Josef Schuster, chairman of the Central Council of Jews, to dpa. “Yes, it was an arson attack on a synagogue that addresses historical traumas.
No, for in 1938, it was all a state-directed program.
There can be no question of this in Germany today.”
