Kristallnacht: 65th Anniversary
by Joe Katzman at November 10, 2003 6:51 PM
Just a reminder that yesterday & today are the 65th anniversary of Kristallnacht, often seen as the opening act of the Nazi Holocaust. Thank you Jeff Jarvis, for remembering. "Kristallnacht: Shimon's Story" contains a personal remembrance of my own, plus links to Jeff and to other valuable sources.
UPDATE: Of all things, some happy synchronicity. IG Farben, manufacturers of the Zyklon-B poison used in the gas chambers, is filing for bankruptcy (Hat Tip: Phil at... Good Riddance)

You might also be interested to know that *IG Farben* announced today that it will be declaring bankruptcy. IG Farben is the corporation that produced the Zyklon B pellets used to murder millions in the Nazi gas chambers.
Jeremy Brown also has a good post on his blog about this.
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
