About this deal

Reporter, Adam Vaccaro-. "Holocaust Memorial in Boston damaged for second time this summer - The Boston Globe". BostonGlobe.com. Archived from the original on 26 June 2018 . Retrieved 21 August 2018. German State Archives, Potsdam, quoted in Rita Thalmann and Emmanuel Feinermann, Crystal night, 9–10 November 1938, pp. 33, 42. In view of this being a totalitarian state a surprising characteristic of the situation here is the intensity and scope among German citizens of condemnation of the recent happenings against Jews.

Dr. Arthur Flehinger, "Flames of Fury", Jewish Chronicle, 9 November 1979, p. 27, cited in Gilbert, loc. cit. The only issue I had with the book was that it did little to illustrate the build up to Kristallnacht within the Nazi party and German government. I would have liked to see a chapter or two discussing how the Nazi-led German government professed anti-Semitic views well before Kristallnacht and began implementing policies to harass and intimidate Jews and other "undesirables" as soon as they came to power. This would allow the reader to view Kristallnacht as the moment the Nazi-led German Goverment had been waiting for to validate and cement their policies in the eyes of the German people, and not as some spontaneous opportunity seized upon by some anti-Semitic party members. Döscher, Hans-Jürgen (2000). "Reichskristallnacht" – Die Novemberpogrome 1938 ("'Reichskristallnacht': The November pogroms of 1938"), Econ, 2000, ISBN 3-612-26753-1, p. 131A more personal response, in 1939, was the oratorio A Child of Our Time by the English composer Michael Tippett. [78] Post-war trials [ edit ] The world’s newspapers reported the unfolding events in mounting horror as a civilised society descended into barbarism and Germany fell into chaos. One newspaper spoke of ‘the racial hatred and hysteria that seemed to have taken complete control of otherwise decent people.’ The events of Kristallnacht represented one of the most important turning points in National Socialist antisemitic policy. Historians have noted that after the pogrom, anti-Jewish policy was concentrated more and more concretely into the hands of the SS. Moreover, the passivity with which most German civilians responded to the violence signaled to the Nazi regime that the German public was prepared for more radical measures. Kristallnacht sparked international outrage. According to Volker Ullrich, "...a line had been crossed: Germany had left the community of civilised nations." [75] It discredited pro-Nazi movements in Europe and North America, leading to a sharp decline in their support. Many newspapers condemned Kristallnacht, with some of them comparing it to the murderous pogroms incited by Imperial Russia during the 1880s. The United States recalled its ambassador (but it did not break off diplomatic relations) while other governments severed diplomatic relations with Germany in protest. The British government approved the Kindertransport program for refugee children. In addition to the first hand accounts, Gilbert goes into great deapth about the international reaction to Kristallnancht. At times the stories are despairly, others hopeful, and at least one, concerning the city of New York will promote a smile.

Gilbert drove every aspect of his books, from finding archives to corresponding with eyewitnesses and participants that gave his work veracity and meaning, to finding and choosing illustrations, drawing maps that mention each place in the text, and compiling the indexes. He travelled widely lecturing and researching, advised political figures and filmmakers, and gave a voice and a name “to those who fought and those who fell.” Miskin, Maayana (8 February 2010). "Yad Vashem to Honor Aborigine". Israel National News. Archived from the original on 14 March 2012 . Retrieved 20 April 2012. Non me la sento di dare una valutazione a un libro importante come questo, pieno di Voci assordanti, che si raccontano attraverso la penna di Gilbert. In this disturbing and heart wrenching work, Gilbert gathers together hundreds of eye witness accounts of the Kristallnacht atrocities. Herschel Grynszpan carried a revolver and thoughts of revenge with him as he walked through the streets of Paris on the morning of November 7, 1938. The 17-year-old German refugee had just learned that his Polish-Jewish parents, along with thousands of other Jews, had been herded into boxcars and deported from Germany. From the day Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933, anti-Semitism had become encoded in the governmental policies of Nazi Germany. For years, Jews experienced state-sponsored discrimination and persecution, and Grynszpan had seen enough.
