Today in 1938 mobs of German civilians & government SS & SA militias attacked German Jews & their homes businesses synagogue in the pogrom of Kristallnacht. 191 were murdered. 600 killed themselves. 30ooo Jews arrested. 115ooo emigrated. A step towards darker & diabolical times
This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today.
Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they are better than others. Ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. This became part of they everyday live and their environment.
They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wifes, sons and daughters. They had their family joys and problems, their favourite deserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people - like us. But they also perpetrated horrible things on the behalf of the ideology the believed in.
Many perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. This is our warning.
german vice chancellor habeck with strongest statement (and, dare i say, leadership) from europe i’ve seen on the risks of an expanded middle east war and the rise of anti-semitism. worth your time.
