I think it is in the same league as those who have think that people in the past were straight up dumb. This, because they didn’t understand science and thought religion was the answer to all.

It is pretty ignorant and doesn’t really answer why these “dumbasses” could build towers, bridges, castles and invent things such as water or windmills.

Yeah, some other redditor sent a link. Still - if they had a permanent hold there, they could have attempted to attack the mainland.

Thank you so much!

I thought it was the mainland, but still I’ve never heard they came this close to the US.

Wait…what??

Well, i have to admit that I wrote this slightly before reading the whole article. So yes, we know his stance, or his family’s stance.

Thats indeed valuable! They show how the firemen and other first responders would see the uprising. We can’t know his stance towards jews and the ghetto, but as you state - they weren’t taken for propaganda reasons.

Amazing

Yeah! Of all things you would hope for in such a situation, is your parents to be there to comfort you.

So I sure hope that Montana was aware of who helped her, and took some comfort in that.

Still, horrible way to see your child die, but at least she was there and did what she could to keep her daughter alive. Perhaps it was (in some way) better she didn’t know who she helped, as it might have been to horrible to bear on the scene.

It makes sense she remembered how this was the end of jewish existence in Germany, and how cruel it actually was.

As Britannica mentions:

>This name symbolized the final shattering of Jewish existence in Germany. After Kristallnacht, the Nazi regime made Jewish survival in Germany impossible.

So its clear that the name Kristallnacht for years has been a haunting memory for everyone who experienced it, and want to use a more reasonable name that shows what it really was - a government pogrom against the jewish community.

I can’t even comprehend what she and her family went through, but that reaction shows it still hurts.

Btw: im sad to hear about the part of your family that stayed behind. Have they ever told anything about them? Their names, their professions or anything about them at all?

It’s so sad to see that families got shattered or completely destroyed. I mean, just look at Anne Franks family. A whole family killed except for the father.
