Some say the Holocaust began in Germany in 1939 with Kristallnacht — ”night of broken glass” — when the Nazis burned synagogues, destroyed Jewish businesses and rounded up Jews to send to concentration camps.
But few know the Germans then billed the Jews for the destruction and cleanup. Yes, you read right: The Germans blamed the Jews for the destruction of their own homes, businesses and places of worship. Since the Jews deserved it — it was their fault — they then must pay for it.
