An authoritative account, using eyewitness testimony, of the massacres of India's minority
An authoritative account, using eyewitness testimony, of the massacres of India's minority Sikh community during the course of 1984 and the repression that took place in the state of Punjab in the decade afterwards. This film was first shown by the 1984 Truth & Justice campaign to MPs in the UK Houses of Parliament to raise awareness on the 20th anniversary of the pogroms.
Film footage shown courtesy of the 'Sikhs', BBC (12 April 1999); Ken Rees, ITN (1-4 Nov 1984); 'Rajiv - the alternative', BBC (Dec 1984); Eastern Eye, C4 (Jan 1985); 'The Riddle of Midnight', Salman Rushdie (1987); 'Disappearances in Punjab, Ram Narayan Kumar (1995).
Note: Kristallnacht -- 'Night of the broken glass' (November 9, 1938)
After a German embassy official was assassinated in Paris by a Jew in revenge for the mass expulsion of Jews to Poland, attacks on the Jews soon followed. Though it was portrayed as a spontaneous outburst of popular outrage, these pogroms were organized and coordinated by Hitler's Nazis, who beat and murdered Jews throughout Germany and Austria. Synagogues and Jewish businesses were particular targets of attacks. The police and fire brigade looked on. Tens of thousands were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. This marked the beginning of the Holocaust, the mass killing of Europe's Jews.
