Prior to Kristallnacht, Jews had little reason to believe their physical safety was at risk. That all changed seventy years ago. "One of the seminal events in Hitler's goal to destroy European Jewry was the 'Night of Broken Glass'--Kristallnacht. Mitchell Bard provides a comprehensive and penetrating account that should be read not only as a history of the Holocaust, but also as a lesson for the future."--Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, author of The Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control "Kristallnacht's new Book of Lamentations. The power of Mitchell Bard's 48 Hours of Kristallnacht derives from the stark and vivid words of German Jewish children who, in a single day, saw their well-ordered world suddenly destroyed by the Nazis' brutality and by the apathy and silence of their neighbors and classmates." --Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center
