Reich Kristallnacht Explanation: The term Kristallnacht is recognizable to most educated readers. I have rarely seen the term translated. The same is true for "Reich" Hitler's regime is frequently referred to by English-language writers as "the 3rd Reich." Some terms, like Gemuetlichkeit or Weltschmerz don't really require a translation. |

Kristallnacht ('The Night of Broken Glass'), Reichskristallnacht Explanation: Kristallnacht ('The Night of Broken Glass'); Reichskristallnacht The short version is the common one in English (sometimes accompanied by the above ‘explanation’ of the term: Not everyone -- especially not younger English-speaking people -- is focused on German terms associated with the Holocaust, though they should certainly be very aware of the subject. The longer term is quite uncommon in English. For one thing, it’s hard to pronounce -- even incorrectly. From: Glossar des Holocaust >>Reichskristallnacht -- Auf Veranlassung von Joseph Goebbels zurückgehender Pogrom in der Nacht von 9. zum 10.11.1938, in dessen Verlauf 91 Juden ermordet, fast alle Synagogen sowie mehr als 7.000 in jüdischem Besitz befindliche Geschäfte im Gebiet des Deutschen Reiches zerstört oder schwer beschädigt wurden. Jüdische Wohnungen wurden gestürmt. Etwa 30.000, vor allem einflußreiche und wohlhabende Juden wurden festgenommen und in Konzentrationslager gebracht. Die Bezeichnung "Reichskristallnacht", oft als verharmlosend und den Ereignissen nicht angemessen kritisiert, bezieht sich auf die vielen zerschlagenen Schaufenster jüdischer Läden. Heutzutage werden die Geschnisse vom 9./10. November als "Novemberpogrom" bezeichnet. Anlaß für diese antisemitischen Ausschreitungen war die Ermordung eines Mitglieds de deutschen Botschaft in Paris, Ernst vom Rath, durch Herschel Grünszpan am 7.11.1938. Umstritten ist bis heute, ob die Reichskristallnacht improvisiert oder geplant war. Auf jeden Fall markiert sie einen Wendepunkt. Sie öffnete den Weg zur vollständigen Erschütterung der Juden in Deutschland und war der erste Schritt zur Endlösung. http://shoanet.hbi-stuttgart.de/glossar/R.htm#Reichskristall...

Upon returning from school, I showed my mother a package of four perfect, beautifully painted tin soldiers I had long craved and now found among the broken glass outside a vandalized shop. She made me go all the way back and return them, putting them down exactly where I found them. I found this difficult to understand then – why they were just lying in the trash! During the years that followed, I came to understand. HTH Tom See above. |
