Let’s not forget, Hitler was inspired and empowered by Jim Crow laws here in the United States. He saw how successfully we created and maintained second-class citizenship here and wanted that for Germany too. Mass murder like this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s insidious & it required a deep kind of evil that I still do not understand to this day
We will see Germany 1936 here in the USA if Trump is elected.
This episode is very timely, especially now that there are many demonstrating in city streets for basically a repeat of the same. Yet I lived in Germany for a long time quite a ways back when there were still plenty of people that remembered those days. Not all Germans were like that. Not at all. There is a small church in the village of Kappel, in the Hunsrück, and there are two memorial stones in the front garden. One has engraved the names of their men who fell in WW1, the second has two columns… those who fell in WW2 and those who fell in the German resistance. And yes, there was a resistance. It became forgotten because there was no scenario envisioned at the end where the allies (rightfully so, perhaps) wanted the German people to escape judgement. But fact remains… the resistance list is twice as long as the soldiers on that second stone. My landlady told me of when the SS and Gestapo came into the village one night, because the resistance was so broad and active. By morning only the very old men and small boys remained of the males. Her father and brother were among the taken. But when I was going to the bus stop to go to school in front of the church one morning was an old American man paying his respects at that stone. I was a precocious kid and asked. He had been a downed pilot that was saved by the resistance there and was paying his respects. Though the Nazis always kept fine records, the idea that Germans opposed them meant that they hid even that and so is little known. Less so now.
😮 you are trying to defend them ny😮👎👎👎
Man’s inhumanity to man.
Better name than "summer of love"
And noone learned anything from it.
"Sacred Torah scrolls were desecrated". Did they burn the part that said: "The non Jew is to be used as cattle"?
The German people couldn’t deny it. They knew all about the treatment of the Jewish people. Europe knew and we knew,and did nothing. The same as today. The West is cricket of Israel when they shout be hfelping them. The West will learn the hard way eventually.
I thought you were talking about Israel’s actions towards Palestine.
The German Wolfgang Niedecken and his band BAP, made in the 80's a song, called #Kristallnaach. It's the hymn against racist and antisemitic violence in Germany until today.

For me the most terrifying thing about all that is how a civilised nation can be turned into a bulk of butchers in less than 10 years. Revanchism multiplied by hatred is an explosive mix which always turns out to become a disaster.
GO ARMY PHILADELPHIA USA 🇺🇸
NOSTROVIA ❤❤❤
I always wondered why more Jewish people didn’t leave Germany before WWII started as it was becoming clear that they were being targeted I always thought “surely the rest of Europe would see this persecution and welcome Jews with open arms”….i guess that was naive of me
Ah-h-h Gawd ! I just saw some graffiti 0:12 0:12 reading " Free Palestine ! " From Hamas, I instantly, mentally wrote.
Sounds like what's going on in the USA now.
Jewish people, business and places of worship attacked… Sounds like America 2024
This type of nightmare will happen in the US, if trump and his MAGA cult seize power. They've already scapegoated the minorities and turned against democracy.
Disgusting. Any person with a conscious looks back at this and shivers.
Which is why when the world looks at a Israel and it's treatment of Palestinians for the past 75 years
Stripping them of their:
– rights
– freedom
– identity
– hopes
And when they happily burn their mosques, shops and businesses all they while killing them in camps they forced them to.
People defending Israel can't get upset when they are being compared to Nazies
Real question:
How many YouTube channels does this guy have? I’ve counted 5 so far, but I’m sure I’m missing some
OY VEY
They always tell you what happens to them but they never tell you why 😂 if you knew, you'd more than likely throw a brick your self. They were only human afterall.
And now they are committing a genocide in Palestine.
"For the first time ever, I am ashamed to be German."
Wilhelm II upon hearing about this
Kristallnacht is actually viewed as trivializing in germany since ot refers to the shards of Glass having the beauty of Chrystalls. The term Reichpogromnacht is told in schools with Pogrom better describing the horrific events of that night.
These just look like mostly peaceful protests to me…
You Tube SUCKS! I have removed this man's channels over and over again. But when You Tube changes the algorithm, it force feeds me this Simon guy's many channels despite my removing him. Simon's channels suck. They are poorly researched information that is mostly government propaganda talking points. Terrible videos. And just because Simon has a British accent, this doesn't not make him an authority on anything. He's just a talking head. England is over. Brexit has made the only job in England a You Tube content provider. Terrible list videos that spread falsehoods and bull.
Something like this is going to happen again soon. But I think it's gonna be America. And I think it'll be the blacks this time.
History repeats itself. Genocide us now being committed by the Zionists to the Palestinians.
My father served under Patton he landed on Normandy. He broke his back and got shot with scrap metal during the battle of Ardennes but kept fighting until the end. He even took photos when he could. They liberated a concentration camp that was the worst part of the whole war for him. He rarely talked about the concentration camps. He did tell me that the towns nearby had to know what was going on. The smells were horrible. They had a gallery of lampshades made out of human skin. It infuriates me that their are people now even US politicians that say the Holocaust never happened.
What the left tried to do during the BLM tried to do during the BLM riots
Nazis: No free speech, strict gun control, painting some people as deplorables (Hilary Clinton post 2016), jailing political opponents rigging elections, police under their control (Letting them burn cities in 2020) and much more.
Democrats: ALL OF THE ABOVE
Tell the truth on why it happened. You won't though.
I'm proud of myself for remembering "the night of broken glass" and deducing it from the German spelling since I can't speak German for shit
& they turned around and are committing hundreds of crystal nights against the native Palestinians
So it just reminded of the genocide Israel is committing against Palestine and has done since 1948. 70 plus years of genocide because of European invaders when Jews and Arabs lived in peace until the Zionists came
The right are doing it again in a covert way when they talk about 'the left', 'reptiles', 'WEF', and other such antisemitic nonsense.
Humans are weak, desperate to be lead and desperate to be told they are superior to other types of humans. Most humans love being sheeple.
Free Palestine.
That's a LOT of shops owned by Jewish people. I wonder what the proportion was?
Reminds me of "free Palestine" thugs had been doing to the Jews in the west recently.
The murder of more than 6 millions of human beings was more evil and diabolic, but this vandalism was erasing our miserable country out of civilization. The official Name was "spontaneous and righteous anger of the people" ReichsKristallnacht was a bitter joke like Reichsparteiteg", it was forbidden, was" Heimtücke". Goebbels hated to be ridiculous, but he was.
The way you pronounced "Wannssee" 😀
Nazi’s are the symbol of Jewish hate, i also don’t think people realize just how popular anti-semitism was internationally and how much it was growing. It wasn’t just a German problem
My mother was visiting relatives during the night of broken glass she was a small child and her and her cousin had slipped into the cousins Mini Mart I guess you'd call it it was like you see in Little House on the Prairie my mom used to describe it that kind of general store with big vats of pickles when they started breaking the glass the two little girls hid behind the giant pickle barrels she tell me how scared she was and how scared she was and how she and the cousin were hiding behind the pickle barrels when it happened after those who had broke the store fronts glass windows she remembered looking at and watching the burning of the prayer house or schul, to a child who is hiding in a store where this was happening it was extremely frightening, and something she never forgot she used to be one of those people who told about it, telling her own experience in being thankful that she's soon be going back home to Switzerland… Not knowing that it was because the town she lived in had a good relationship with their Jews that most of their Jews managed to escape from being rounded up because the town had sent a message that they didn't know what they were talking about, Jews what Jews, when that time was a question it had always been thought to be Swiss and then suddenly the Germans are claiming it for themselves The Swiss didn't argue you want it you can have it and so my grandparents had already moved over to the Swiss side that there was no question about,my my great-grandparents were not that lucky nor were cousins and aunts who insisted on waiting for one Aunt who wasn't there yet they had been lucky that even though the border had closed the Germans of their Town had warned them of what was to come and they had fled to Italy others were smarter then they were and had already crossed the border before it closed. Have they got to Italy but in Italy they by the Germans were already waiting for them there UC the Germans knew view that the Jews who fled from other places in Germany we're heading to Italy to a certain hotel specifically where they could then flee the country long story short after they were sent to a place called (voice to text will not allow me to put the right word in here and I don't have the fingers to write it is my digits do not function properly voice to text will not allow me to correct anything unless I literally take out the section and try to redo it) which is where they were sent to they were sent to various concentration camps from there and were never heard from again.
The irony of the story is that my mother was very small the Nazi neighbor when they lived in a a different town in Germany from the one mentioned above used to think she was a really cute girl an pat her on the head, my mother would learn later that it was one of the reasons that they left that time very quickly and moved elsewhere. Making it to Switzerland before Germany its borders where no longer porous.
This video parallels today, I basically consider religion. The enemy of humanity, anti-Semitism.
And anti- Brown will keep hate alive.
The moment we start to accept each other's differences. It's the moment that humanity will start to get better. But if that doesn't happen within the next 50 years, humanity will be extinct.
Almost looks like meetings at universities …….. hmmmmmm
