Since this is a very important date in German history, I thought I could use it for another one of my "On... Germans" posts (the other ones were "On elections.", "On heroes." and "On soldiers."). Ironically it's the day of both of one of our darkest and probably the brightest moment in all of German history; the Reichsprogromnacht that marked the beginning of the persecution of the Jews in the Third Reich and the Mauerfall which marked the fall of the Iron Curtain and the end of the Communist block.
