🕯️Kristallnacht: 88 Years

9.11.2026
___________________________
🔵Today marks 88 years since Kristallnacht, also called the November Pogrom, one of the defining turning points on the road to the Holocaust.

🔵On the night of November 9-10, 1938, synagogues burned across Germany and Austria. Jewish shops and homes were smashed. Men were beaten in the streets. At least ninety people were murdered, and many more died afterward from abuse in the camps. About thirty thousand Jewish men were arrested and sent to camps. The next day, the regime fined the Jewish community one billion Reichsmarks and kept the insurance money.

It didn’t start that night.

🔵Antisemitism ran through nationalist and radical right circles in Germany long before Hitler took power. The Nazis organized it and made it state policy. After January 1933, Jewish businesses were boycotted, and Jews were pushed out of the civil service, the universities, and the professions. In May, books by Jewish and other “un-German” authors were burned in city squares while crowds watched. The world noticed and largely moved on. The 1935 Nuremberg Laws took away Jews’ political rights and banned marriage and sexual relations with non-Jews. Schools, public spaces, and associations closed their doors. Businesses and property were sold off under pressure for a fraction of their value.

🔵In July 1938, thirty-two countries met at Evian to discuss the refugee crisis. Almost none opened their doors. The regime took the lesson that no one would intervene.

🔵Then, in late October, thousands of Polish Jews were expelled and left stranded at the border.

🔵 One of those families was Herschel Grynszpan’s, a seventeen-year-old living in Paris. On November 7, out of personal desperation, he shot the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath. Nazi leaders seized on it, called it proof of a Jewish conspiracy, and Goebbels, with Hitler’s approval, gave the order.

🔵 What followed was organized. In Berlin, the Fasanenstrasse Synagogue was set on fire. Fire crews were told to protect only non-Jewish property. The arrests were systematic.

🔵 Kristallnacht was where years of legal exclusion, humiliation, and theft turned into open terror. Each earlier step had tested the world’s reaction, and the response was weak. That emboldened the regime.
The record is clear. The steps are documented.

🔵 And in recent days, in Philadelphia, Jewish-owned businesses were targeted for a boycott on the eve of this very anniversary. It is not the only place, and not the only time. Hatred of Jews is being spoken openly again, and too often met with a shrug.

🔵 Remembering this night means remembering that it was built step by step, and that at each step, people chose whether to look away.

Theo van Gogh was murdered for trying to raise awareness of women being persecuted in the Middle East.

In 2004, Theo van Gogh made a film about the abuse of women under Islam.

The film was called: Submission. The film showed abused women with Quran verses written on their bodies.

The film was written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born Dutch MP and ex-Muslim.

On November 2, 2004, Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch-born son of Moroccan immigrants, shot van Gogh as he cycled to work in Amsterdam.

Van Gogh asked, "Can't we talk about this?"

Bouyeri cut his throat, then used a knife to pin a five-page letter to his body. The letter threatened Hirsi Ali, and it called for war against the West and against Jews.

Bouyeri wasn't a lone madman. He belonged to the Hofstad network, a group of young Dutch Islamists that police were already watching. He grew up in the Netherlands and went to Dutch schools, and he was radicalized at home. At his trial, he told the court he acted out of religious conviction and would do it again. He was sentenced to life without parole.

The aftermath split the country. Mosques and churches were set on fire. Hirsi Ali went into hiding, lost her Dutch home after neighbors complained about the security risk, and later moved to the US. Geert Wilders has lived under police protection.

Note: Theo van Gogh was a great-grandson of Vincent van Gogh’s brother.
