died. In gas chambers concentration camps and of starvation. |
|
| What happened before Kristallnacht to lead up to the
nightmare. In 1933-34 Ukraine farmers didn't turn their land to
communist so Stalin confiscated crops. They starved seven million to
death. January 30 1933 Hitler is Chancellor of Germany, six months
latter democracy is dead. In 1934 Nazis passed Warburg laws, three
laws taken away. Germany define Jews racially relation ships.
1935 laws of Nuremberg denied Jews of citizenship. In 1936 Germany

Europe at a secret meeting.. |
|
| June 14 1938 a report "Jews in the Economy"
Walter Funk Nazi official said" As the Jews in Germany are able to
live off the proceeds of their commerce and other assets they require
strict state supervision." |
|
| November 8 1938, one day before Crystal night strange
people witch had never been seen appeared in a couple small towns in
Hessen near French German border. The strange people went to mayor
Kreisleiters (district party) and import officials in these towns and
asked if any actions were being planed Jews. Officials were
startled by questions and said they didn't know of such plans. The
people shouted and complained something must be done. Then they just
left and were called anti-Semites. |
|
| On Nov 7 1938 Herchel Grynspan walked into the German
embassy and shot Ernst Vom Rath 5 times and he died. Ernst Vom Rath
31 year old German diplomat in Paris. Grynspan 17 years old unemployed
Jew was funded by LICRA. Father was once a tailor witch moved from Poland
to Germany. Herchel had a reputation for not liking to work and hung
out at his uncles homes. |
|
| Arrested at the scene Grynspan was taken to the police
station. Even so he was obscure polish Jew witch had no money and no
apparent support. One of Frances most famous layers Moro Giaffer
showed up at the police station a few hours latter. Moro Giaffen was
the legal consul of LICA and was founded in Paris 1933 by a Jew Bernard
Leache. |

| After the attack
Goebbel took action his orders were "
measure art to be limited to such as will not jeopardize German life or
property synagogues to burned, only if there is no danger to the surrounding
area. Jewish shops and houses are only to be destroyed not to be plundered
The police are responsible for the prevention of looting and charged with
the arrest of looters-non-Jewish. Premises must be protected against
any harm". To carry out Kristallnacht Nazi government used the actions of
17 year old Hershel Grynspan. |
| |
| Attacks on Jews thought Germany went CRAZY why German
police just watched Nazi troopers with members of S.S and Hitler youth
beat, kill, brake in to homes, and take Jewish women and kids. Hedrick
requested decrees boring Jews from contact with Germans by no public
transportation, schools, hospitals, forcing them into ghettos or out of
the country..
"I shall close the meeting with these word" said
goring. " Germans shall as punishment for their abominable crimes
have to make a calibration for one billion marks that will work. The
swine wont commit another murder. I would like to say that I would
not like to be a Jew in Germany."
Almost 25,000 Jewish men were gathered up and sent to
concentration camps and sometimes messed up by S.S and some were chosen to
be beaten to death.
|
|
|
| Nov 9-10 the government made plans for attacks
that destroyed 191 synagogues and 7,5000 shops. 91 Jews killed or
arrested and more than 20,000 Jewish men were sent to concentration camps
at Dacha and Buchenwaild. Nazi kept tormenting Jews by making them
pay for the damage from Kristallnacht. |
| |
| Eight years latter 1979 head of state psychiatry Heinrich
Gross, news paper reporters asked him " whether it was that applying
Nazi euthanasia policies. He had killed hundreds of kids being
hospitalized." He said " he did but, that was a different
reality. Today i would do it." He said there is not one voice
that could express feelings and reactions felt by the whole world. |
| |

the German embassy in Paris by a young Polish Jew of energetically against
the violent attacks in German press against the whole of Judaism become of
the act and especially to protest against the German, Jews after the
crime." |
