Broken Glass, Shattered Lives

Commemorating the shrill sounds 83 years ago that heralded the destruction of European Jewry

By David E. Kaplan

Menacing Message. On Kristallnacht, the world ignored Jewish suffering and sent a message – you are alone.

The road to Auschwitz did not begin with the laying of train tracks  – there were  periodic warnings; mostly unheeded. The final and clearest warning occurred on the 9-10 November 1938 – but by then it was mostly too late. The first lesson of Kristallnacht is to take the warning signs of antisemitism seriously – Israel does!

A Close Shave

The Corbyn crisis that was, remains a warning to world Jewry

Written by Lay of the Land UK correspondent

Sounding Alarm. A panic appeal preceding the 2019 UK election that had Jews ready with bags packed.

Corbyn’s reshaping of the Labour Party energised latent antisemitism and came close to driving Jews from the UK. While disaster was averted by the British voter, the fight against Labour’s antisemitism, left deep scars and a warning to similar dangers globally.
