“Never again, whatever it takes, by any means
necessary and do-able.”
The N*z* Bear and Eagle of Buchenwald. Never forget. 😞
Time ‘Too Painful’ to Remember
By Ari L. Goldman
Nov. 10, 1988It was the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Thousands of people flocked to commemorative services in synagogues, churches and public squares across the United States.
Lined Up Before Machine Guns
Morris Hubert, an 82-year-old retired butcher, was also arrested on Kristallnacht as he drove a car near his home in Frankfurt. ”The Nazis lined up 50 of us before the machine guns,” he said. ”The commandant was called away to take a phone call. We waited. When he returned he sent us away. I still do not know why.”
Later, Mr. Hubert was sent to Buchenwald. ”In the camp there was a cage with a bear and an eagle,” he said. ”Every day, they would throw a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick at his bones.” ”But that’s unbelievable,” whispered a visitor. ”It is unbelievable,” said Mr. Hubert, ”but it happened.”
