Bedtime Story
Jews Flee Germany after the Kristallnacht 1938
Jews Flee Germany after the Kristallnacht 1938
After that unforgettable hellish night, Hermann Göring, the
founder of Gestapo and the future commander of the Luftwaffe (Reich’s
formidable air force built up secretly after World War I moratorium) was very
unhappy with the destruction of the Jewish properties.
He complained directly to Reinhard Heydrich, a human butcher of
top class and said:
“I’d rather you guys had done in 200 Jews than destroy so many
valuable assets!”
On November 12 just as the rioting had ended, in the meeting of
the elite brass of the Nazi leaders Göring said:
“I have received a letter on the Führer’s orders requesting that
the Jewish question be now, once and for all, coordinated and solved one way or
another…
“I should not want to leave any doubt, gentlemen, as to the aim of
today’s meeting.
“We have not come here merely to talk again, but to made
decisions, and I implore all competent agencies to take all measures for the
elimination of the Jew from the German economy, and to submit them to me”.
The loot and destruction of Jewish businesses and professions
continued to go on after that deadly night.
Over this the Nazis had the impudence to foist on the Jewish
community a collective tax of 1 billion Reichsmark for the murder of vom Rath
and 6 million for the destruction of their property.
The Jews knew they have had it.
In the next ten months, more than 115,000 Jews left Germany, one
among them being the mother of Hans Bethe.
The quota of Germans who could emigrate to America got full rapidly
just like it gets these days for Indians scooting off (a favorite term of my
dear friend) to the land of milk and honey on H1B visa.
Bethe’s mother Anna entered America through the French quota as
she was from Strasbourg, a city in France but at the border of Germany.
Do you know how Hans Bethe raised money to help his mother Anna?

Good night and my fellow cousin ape.
Another great educator and a teacher that I am aware of is
Professor Subhashish Chattopadhyay in Bangalore, India.
While I narrate stories, Professor Subhashish an IIT graduate and
a former professor at BARC, does and teaches real mathematics and physics.
He started the participation of Indian students at the
International Physics Olympiad.
