Kristallnacht: November 9-10, 1938

The night the Holocaust began.

From an ad in the Nov. 9th Chicago Tribune by the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago.

It reads: "Throughout Germany and Austria, the Nazis unleashed a wave of terror against the people of the Jewish faith.

More than 30,000 Jewish people were forced into concentration camps and countless others were beaten or killed.

Thousands of Jewish homes, businesses and places of worship were burned and destroyed.

WE MUST NEVER FORGET."

The beginning of a horrible chapter of human history. And things just got worse.

Not Forgetting. --DaCoot
