BAP-Kristallnacht (Evil thrives when good people do nothing)

The events of 'Kristallnacht' in November 1938 signified an intensification of the Nazis assault on decency. They are a sharp reminder of the abyss into which blind hatred can lead us. This short video is not aimed at Germany or Germans, God Knows 80% of them weren't even born in those days and all nations certainly have their share of fools and knaves. Rather it is a warning that we all have a duty to refuse to listen to those who seek to spread hate. In the final analysis were are all human beings of equal worth and it remains a disgrace that we have not yet assigned war and persecution to the history books. Always remember-there are only two kinds of people in this world, the decent majority (98%) and those at a lesser stage of development. Make sure the decent majority prevail.

A wise man once said...'Evil thrives when good people do nothing.''

RIP all victims of hatred

This video is about the Kristallnacht of 1938 but we all know of other 'Kristallnachts' in Iraq, Gaza, Rwanda, Indonesia , East Timor and a hundred other places. This is about all of us as human beings and the way we treat each other. It is not an attempt to blame Germans for all the evils on Earth. We are all responsible for each other! We choose as individuals to do nothing as some Germans did or speak up and that takes courage. Enough Germans did that to redeem the honour of their country.

I read the comments, and I agree we should be responsible for eachother, but I disagree that bullpoop walks...The last time I was in the meadow, and saw poop, it didn't walk, just lay there waiting for someone to come by and step on it and eventually get stuck on the shoe and then start walking...Love and Forgiveness, do walk hand in hand...And without the two, we will be on opposite sides of the fence.

@GazaFlotilla1 , No one doubts that all nations commit evil acts in war. The bombing of civillians, the mass rapes committed by the Red Army, etc. The above video is simply aimed at showing the consequences of demonising other people. Jews made up less than 1% of Germany's population in 1933 yet Hitler's gang blamed them gor every evil from Bolshevism to the wall street crash. we are all human beings and must remember that. We all share the blame.

I chose the above images to illustrate that nothing happens in a vaccum. The rise of the Nazis was in part due to World war 1, the vindictive Versailles treaty, the great depression and mass unemployment and the violent revolutions in Weimar Germany all played into the hands of extremists like Hitler who portryed himself as 'Germany's Saviour'. The latent anti semitism current in European culture of the time was exploited by the Nazis and this lead to the horrors of 1933-45.
