I have posted a couple of excerpts from this book over the past year or so & it is high time I recommended it to those of you who are interested in what transpired on Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass).
48 Hours of Kristallnacht is the first book to thoroughly chronicle this pivotal event by presenting a wide array of eyewitness testimony, much of it previously unpublished, & to set the event firmly in historical context. Drawing on his unprecedented access to key archives, Dr. Mitchell G. Bard presents a shocking story that centers on the words of those who, as children, were on the scene first-hand. Together, these accounts & Bard’s incisive analysis reveal what led up to the pogroms, how they transpired, & their aftermath – & why the Holocaust can be dated from these two harrowing nights.
Kristallnacht’s new Book of Lamentations. The power of Mitchell Bard’s 48 Hours of Kristallnacht derives from the start & vivid words of German Jewish children who, in a single day, saw their well-ordered world suddenly destroyed by the Nazis’ brutality & by the apathy & silence of their neighbors & classmates.

I knew a lot of the tragedy of Kristallnacht. 9 November is my birthday, so the events of the day really stood out to me.
Everyone loves it when people come together and share opinions.
Great website, stick with it!
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Nonetheless, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

Hello! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok.
I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.
I couldn’t refrain from commenting. Exceptionally
well written!
I hardly leave a response, but i did some searching and wound up here In Books:
Kristallnacht | WW2 Resource. And I actually do have some questions
for you if you tend not to mind. Could it
be only me or does it look like a few of the responses come across as if
they are left by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional online social sites,
I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list of the complete urls
of your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
I needed to thank you for this wonderful read!! I certainly
loved every little bit of it. I’ve got you bookmarked to look at new stuff
