Kristallnacht - A Documentary Part 1 of 5

Here is good documentary from the History Channel on Reichskristallnacht, the night of broken glass. On November 9--10 November 1938, all across Germany Jewish businesses were ransacked, synagogues burned down, Jews sent to concentration camps and murdered. It was the first big anti-Semitic event in Germany before the war started. Here the events leading up to it are chroncled as well. The most hard-hitting quote is when it is said that this marked the end of German Jewry. Very depressing...

Jews disproportionately were involved in banking, law, academia and many other highly educated positions. Most were by all accounts assimilated Germans.

The fact that you can attribute ANY, or even worse, ALL of Germany's economic woes to 'Jews making exorbitant interest on loans', which 'makes inflation go up' makes me think you don't know how economies work. The fact that self-proclaimed critical thinkers are blindly quoting Nazi propaganda is a most ridiculous phenomenon.

Totalitarian dictatorships which throw political opponents and minorities into camps generally aren't the most popular among nations.

Whether you attribute the fall in foreign demand for German goods or not on the villainous scheming of a tiny minority rather than perhaps a myriad of other factors (Great Depression, autarkic German policies), I seriously doubt millions of people were starved and 1/3 of the populations put out of work.

@Tluccodis741

The fact that people like you justify Nazi policies by just spinning the entire population into an evil conspiracy makes me think you read it off some site and are trying to sound controversial. To me it just makes you sound uneducated.

You replay this ridiculous headline of 'Judeah declares war on Germany' and base 100 percent of your proof on that. Yes, Jews living abroad didn't like the Nazi regime. Nor did most other people.

@Tluccodis741 Number one, the Jewish population was only 1% at the time. How the hell could 1/3 of the population starve? How does it justify the brutal TORTURE for many? German and Jew alike. Banks were run by everyone, I think you should get your facts right young man. Why kill innocent French, Polish, Lithuanians, Latvians, Belarussians, why? They did not do anything. Go research it yourself. As for Jesus, you will stand before Him one day. Then you can go ahead and tell Him what you said.

@MineKraftDude Lets see, they declared war on germany in 1933, starting a boycott of german goods that starved millions and put 1/3 of the population out of work... 160 of 161 banks in germany before hitler were run by jews and charged exorbitant interest on loans, further making the economy worse, making inflation go up to an insane degree, further making problems worse. Basically they intentionally raped Germany, and they were gotten back for it. Tit for Tat. Fuck your Jesus.

@Tluccodis741 I promise you, one day you will be before the God of Highest. Jesus Christ will judge you justify.

@Tluccodis741 It is very evil of you to say that. My great grandfather (who is still alive today), mom and sister were both killed by the Nazi's during kristallnacht. For absolutely no reason but for being Jews. A woman, and a girl who was under 10 years old. The Nazi's were NOT attacked except for once. What positive stuff could be mentioned? We found out that forcing a man to have sex with a dog doesn't do anything? Jews did nothing wrong.

Thanks for uploading this great documentary. They never show documentaries like this one on the American version of the History Channel. In fact as i am typing this the History Channel is showing a documentary about how ancient aliens "helped build" the pyramids, that's what counts as history in the USA.

@Tluccodis741

I wouldn't know where to even start with what you've said...

Either way. This is a documentary about Kristallnacht. If Jews being portrayed as victims annoys you, then why are you looking up videos on such topics?

[Tluccodis741]

@gurufabbes1 Yeah, i didn't watch past part 1. Apologies on that, i was getting fed up with the denigrating tone with which they spoke of National Socialist Germany. Theres so much positive stuff that can be mentioned, and they choose to focus on the Jews, how "innocent" they were, and they say that Hitler "blamed them for the loss of WW1, communism, and economic troubles in Germany"... things they rightfully do deserve blame for. Punishment even.
