The Night of Broken Glass

Last night was the longest and worst night of my life. We were attacked last night because of our race. We did nothing wrong, we didn’t provoke them in any way. We didn’t send that Hershel person to kill Ernst Von Rath. Still the people came and destroyed our Synagues. They threw bricks through the windows, set fire to the buildings and just attacked us. There were 96 Jews killed, I am lucky I wasn’t one of them. We guess that over two thousand of our precious Synagues were burned. More than 7500 businesses were damaged. What did we do to provoke this? Then after all of this, they are now telling us that we must pay 1 billion marks for the damage. The very people who tell us we must pay for the damages are the same people who did the damage to our community. It has come to be called Kristallnacht, The Night of Broken Glass.
