social studies term 3

 kia Ora bloggers today I have something to share.

So if you have read my previous post about the night of broken glass 

There was a letter sent to every German member of the Nazis army and the SS 

SUBJECT: MEASURES AGAINST THE JEWS THIS NIGHT
That only such measures were to be taken that would not endanger German lives or property (e.g. the burning of synagogues was only to be carried out if there was no danger of fire spreading to the surrounding district).  Businesses and residences of Jews may be damaged but not looted. Particular care is to be paid in business sections and surrounding streets. Non-Jewish businesses are to be protected from damage under all circumstances. Police are to seize all archives from synagogues and offices of community organizations, this refers to material of historical significance. Archives are to be handed over to the SS. As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many Jews especially wealthy ones - in all districts as can be accommodated in existing cells. For the time being, only healthy male Jews of not too advanced age are to be arrested.

We then had to answer this question

How does evidence in this document show that “Kristallnacht” was planned in advance of the event actually happening?

here is my answer

Because of the assassination that happened earlier from a jew everyone was convinced that the jews were awful people when they weren't.

I feel that it was a horrible thing that happened.

So what do you think?

Was the night of broken glass a horrible thing?
