Kristallnacht, November 1938 |

We use the murder of our diplomat, von Rath As pretext to begin annihilation Of Jews: whose filthy lives contaminate the nation. We cleanse the race with incandescent wrath.
We organize spontaneous killings, fire. In public view, we trample down the meek and world opinion turns the other cheek and clears the way to do what we desire.
Systematically we ship them off to death Confiscating property, their money, works of art Rage occupies the throne, inflames the heart The super-race, inspired by anger, takes its breath.
The cross of God, of Christ, stands in the wings Yet we seek living fire in other things.
