Never forget...
KRISTALLNACHT

"Kristallnacht" was the pogrom against Jews throughout Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues had their windows smashed. Over 1,000 synagogues were burned (95 in Vienna alone) and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged, about 400 Jews were murdered and 30.000 were deported to concentration camps (many hundrets died there) not only by the SS or the SA but also by "normal" Germans...

Never again will we depend on the mercy of others...
