"Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass) was a state-sponsored terrorist action against Jewish people, businesses, homes, and synagogues, a pogrom planned and executed by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on November 9 and 10, 1938. Most German law enforcement officials looked on without intervening. Kristallnacht and the eventual murder of six million Jewish souls resulted from the longstanding hatred of the Jewish people, what some refer to as "The Longest Hatred," dating back millennia."
"Antisemitic imagery and tropes helped fuel and ignite the January 6 paramilitary forces of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, with some people wearing a black "Camp Auschwitz" T-shirt emblazoned with a skull and crossbones, and beneath it the words "work brings freedom" - an English translation of the Auschwitz concentration camp motto: "Arbeit macht frei.""
Kristallnacht was a state-sponsored terrorist pogrom on November 9–10, 1938, in which SA paramilitary forces and civilians attacked Jewish people, businesses, homes, and synagogues while most German law enforcement did not intervene. The longstanding hatred of Jewish people, termed "The Longest Hatred," contributed to Kristallnacht and the eventual murder of six million Jews. The January 6, 2021 Capitol attack is characterized as a government-sponsored assault on the Constitution and the legal transition of power, executed by cult-like insurrectionists with a delayed military response. Antisemitic imagery, including "Camp Auschwitz" T-shirts, and extremist rhetoric fueled groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, whose language and actions sought upheaval. Hate speech escalates into hate crimes, violence, and widespread societal harm.
