On November 9-10, 1938, Nazis began destroying thousands of Jewish properties and homes throughout Germany. The onslaught became known as Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass.”
After years of building hate and race laws forbidding Jews from marrying Germans, from working in the legal profession, and multiple boycotts of Jewish businesses, the course of history is changed forever as Jews are physically attacked en masse.
For years, Nazi propaganda targeted German Jews, framing them as disloyal, inhuman and responsible for economic disasters such as the 1920s hyperinflation and the Great Depression.
Words have meaning, and have a very real effect on the world.
It is our duty to remember, and to stand up to hate speech, propaganda and lies.
