As George Szirtes reminds us in a post today, November 9 is the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
A very ambiguous day in German history:
In 1918, there was Revolution. (With Kaiser Wilhelm abdicating.)
In 1923, the Beer Hall Putsch (the date chosen because of 1918).
In 1938, Kristallnacht.
In 1989, the opening of the Berlin Wall.
A day to ponder many things ...
