But seriously, please remember Kristallnacht. Please remember November 9th, 1938, the Night of Broken Glass.
I googled what this was… the first result:
Vandals destroy shop windows and graffiti anti-Semitic slurs in Philadelphia on 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht
I’m so sorry to bring this to attention, though it’s important
Please don’t feel bad for bringing it to attention, Jewish Tumblr has been talking about it and trying to get people to pay attention. Outside of Jewish bloggers this stuff usually gets ignored
On November 8th, 1938 my grandmother, my great grandparents, and her two cousins boarded a boat to the US using one of the last legal visas issued to Jews before WW2. The next day, Kristallnacht happened. They broke the glass on my great-grandfathers former store, they burned down their synagogue, they destroyed the culture of my family and my jewish heritage. Years later they killed my great aunt and uncle.
Now 78 years later, they come to the city i live in and draw swastikas and break glass. I have devoted my life to Jewish culture, to the rabbinate, to my people. Now this is the era I live in.
