Up To 1,500 Died

For John, BLUF:  To save the majority, you have to protect the minorities.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From ABC News is this report on the 75th Anniversary of Kristallnacht, across Germany.  The Wikipedia report on Kristallnacht is here.  From Wikipedia:

The pretext for the attacks was the assassination of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a German-born Polish Jew resident in Paris.  Kristallnacht was followed by additional economic and political persecution of Jews, and is viewed by historians as part of Nazi Germany's broader racial policy, and the beginning of the Final Solution and The Holocaust.
