Bishop Martin Sasse, a leading Protestant churchman, published a compendium of Martin Luther's writings shortly after the Kristallnacht; Sasse "applauded the burning of the synagogues" and the coincidence of the day, writing in the introduction, "On November 10, 1938, on Luther's birthday, the synagogues are burning in Germany." The German people, he urged, ought to heed these words "of the greatest anti-Semite of his time, the warner of his people against the Jews."[35] Diarmaid MacCulloch argued that Luther's 1543 pamphlet On the Jews and Their Lies was a "blueprint" for the Kristallnacht.[36]

One of my favorite quotes:

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!” ~Anne Frank

“Its amazing how little has changed in almost seven decades. Arab countries children textbooks are filled with anti Jewish Hatred. Islamic Clerics call for the death of Jews. In Venezuela and Iran leaders are whipping the population into AntiSemitic fervor. Frankfort Germany’s annual book fair many of the books on display from turkey showed the worst kind of Jewish stereotypes. The Wiesenthal center has warned of major up tics in anti-Semitism in the UK, France and Greece. Polls have shown that a significant part of the world population believes that the Jews were behind 9/11.”

...and Jews still don’t have a problem with supporting people that will take their guns away, and Jews continue to, by a HUGE margin, support a political party that would not mind a bit if Israel was glassified - and didn’t seem to mind at all that a mini-version of Kristallnach was taking place in Crown Heights (NY) in the 1990s. Yes, I agree, things have changed very little...considering what Jews have been through.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Shellybenoit. 99 Jews were murdered and 25,000 to 30,000 were arrested and placed in concentration camps. 267 synagogues were destroyed and thousands of homes and businesses were ransacked. This was done by the Hitler Youth, Gestapo,and the SS. Kristallnacht also served as a pretext and a means for the wholesale confiscation of firearms from German Jews.
