Abstract:
Describes the events of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom in the region of Thüringen. Nine synagogues were burned, the Jews were humiliated and maltreated, and hundreds were sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Blames the German legal system for lack of intervention to stop the criminal acts, for failure to prosecute the perpetrators, and for their collaboration with the Gestapo. Pp. 902-910 contain eleven letters from the public prosecutor to the district attorney in Jena, all dated 10-11 November 1938, with special orders not to prosecute the offenders.
Note:
Pp. 902-910: Documents.
