Germany, Israel mark 70 years since Kristallnacht
On Nov. 9, 1938 Nazi-incited mass riots left more than 91 Jews dead, damaged more than 1,000 synagogues and left some 7,500 Jewish businesses ransacked and looted.
BERLIN—"We must not be silent" about condemning anti-Semitism, German chancellor Angela Merkel declared Sunday as Germany and Israel commemorated the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-incited riots against Jews.
With concerts, prayers and ceremonies, participants vowed to honor Kristallnacht victims with renewed vigilance. The riots are seen by many as the first step leading to the Nazis' systematic murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.
Merkel recalled the Nov. 9, 1938 riots in which more than 91 German Jews were killed and more than 1,000 synagogues damaged.

Doesn't it seem strange that the gay/lesbian community picks this time of the year to attack Christian churches. You might have heard about the recent invasions of services in California and Michigan. Right about the same time of the year as when the Nazi Kristallnacht against Jewish churches in Nazi Germany back in 1939. I thought the U. S. government would stop any form of terrorism in America. I guess Jews or Christians are exempt.
