It is unbelievable what those people had to go through. But the worst was to come later. People should know that after Kristalnacht the Jewish population had to pay for what the SA had destroyed. So it was Nazi Germany in that time.

It is said about germans that they consider themselves as the herrenvolk- they did back then and they still do. BUT not all people in Germany will consider themselves as the herrenvolk, there are very many good people too. You can in fact create a new holocaust all places in the world if the right circumstances are there. We must do all we can to prevent it from happen again. The good thing is that people basically are more informed today.

People DO infact forget the good people in germany who tried to help... I try to concentrate on that.
