Pan of ceremony, attendees singing Israeli national anthem STORYLINE Germans and Israelis on Sunday marked the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Nazi-incited riots that began their campaign to destroy European Jewry, with ceremonies, concerts and vows to honour the victims with renewed vigilance. Chancellor Angela Merkel recalled the November 9, 1938 riots in which more than 91 German Jews were killed and more than 1,000 synagogues damaged, telling Germans that the lessons of the nation's past were crucial in confronting a current increase of xenophobia and racism. The Kristallnacht riots are seen by many as the first step leading to the Nazis' murder of six (m) million Jews in the Holocaust. "We must not be silent," Merkel told the nation at a ceremony in Germany's newly renovated largest synagogue. "Xenophobia, racism and anti-Semitism mustn't be given a chance in Europe and outside Europe's borders." Some 30-thousand Jewish men and boys were arrested and sent to concentration camps during the mass riots that left the streets littered with shards of glass - giving it the pogrom its name. Charlotte Knobloch, head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, who survived Kristallnacht as a girl in Munich, Germany, told the gathering in Berlin's Rykestrasse Synagogue that Germans must fight against far-right extremism in all its forms. The synagogue, a red brick temple built in 1904, also survived Kristallnacht because of its location nestled in an inner courtyard of a densely populated neighbourhood. It reopened last year after two years of painstaking renovation. A memorial concert in Berlin later on Sunday and events in other communities across the country were also being held to mark the anniversary. Germany's southern neighbour Austria - where Kristallnacht claimed 30 Jewish lives - also commemorated the day, while German-born Pope Benedict XVI said he still feels the pain of Kristallnacht as he addressed the crowd gathered at Saint Peter's square in Vatican City. The Catholic leader invited prayers for Kristallnacht victims and asked others to join him in a show of deep solidarity with Jews around the world. When a young man in Germany, Benedict, then called Joseph Ratzinger, served briefly in the Hitler Youth corps. At Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial, survivors, their descendants, academics and the German and Austrian ambassadors to Israel took part in a ceremony that also included a rare musical rendition of a work of the German-Jewish composer Robert Kahn, whose music was outlawed by the Nazis. Yad Vashem also presented a new online exhibit, "It Came From Within ... 70 Years Since Kristallnacht," marking the event with images, historical information, and pages of testimony about some of the Jews who died during Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht survivor Mordechai Segal, who participated in the remembrance service, described his experience of the night. At Israel's weekly Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Kristallnacht was "the turning point toward the inevitable destruction of a greater portion of the Jewish people in Europe between 1939-1945," adding that Israel "will never forgive or forget" the crimes of the Nazi regime.

Released in 1940, THE WORLD IN FLAMES is an hour-long American documentary that tells the story of the rise of Fascism, and the beginnings of WWII in Asia and Europe. The film begins with scenes of world-wide depression in 1929 and 1930, and continues with (as NY Times reviewer Bosley Crowther described it): "the inevitability of a prepared scenario through the evidences of unrest in Europe, the growth of totalitarian power, the futile gestures made toward appeasement and the eventual clash of arms."<p><p>"One feature of this film for which we are grateful is its careful apportionment of the element of horror. It does not scream out with pictures intended merely to shock. It retains an intelligent perspective. Thus, when it does show briefly the consequences of a decade's collapse—the heartless destruction of cities and the misery of homeless refugees—the evidence is all the more compelling. There are no words for such a record of despair."<p><p>Made prior to American entry into WWII, but with America acting as the "Arsenal of Democracy", the film leaves little doubt that the United States will soon be more than just a distant participant in the struggle for freedom.<p><p>Scenes in the first part of the film include America in the 1930s and the Great Depression, the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President, German suppression of the Jews (10:00 mark) including the Kristallnacht / Krystalnacht events and book burnings, the great drought of 1934 (12 minute mark), strikes in the USA and violence against the veterans marching on Washington (12:45), a coup in Austria (13:00 mark), the death of Von Hindenburg (13:00), the accession of King George (17 minutes), the re-occupation of the Rhineland by Hitler (18 minutes), the invasion of Ethiopia by the Italians (20 minutes), the threat to Czechoslovakia and Prime Minister Chamberlain's efforts to appease Hitler (23:00), advanced manufacture of aircraft in England (26:00) as the nation prepares for war. The film ends with the von Ribbentrop pact between Soviet Russia and Germany. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
