This day in history: The “Kristallnacht” in nazi germany

The term Kristallnacht means the “Night of Broken Glass”. It was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The German “authorities” looked on without intervening.

November 9th (1938) was “Kristallnacht”, in Nazi Germany.  Be forewarned, folks: Once a group in any society has been singled out for ridicule and persecution, then they can be systematically attacked, physically. Someday it may be “Constitutionalists”, “Messianics”, “Trumpists”, or “Fundamentalist Christians” who are targeted.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
