Report on anti-Jewish pogroms in Nürnberg and Fuerth on 9/10 Nov. 38. Fraenkische Tageszeitung No. 265, dated 11 Nov. 38.
* . * * In Nürnberg and Fuerth it resulted in demonstrations
by the crowd against the Jewish murderers. These lasted until the early hours of the morning. Far too long had one watched the activities of the Jews in Germany. Not a single hair from their head had been disturbed, they had not been touched. But with the terrible murder of Party member von Rath the patience of the German people was exhausted. The fury of the population against the Jewish murderers had reached its peak and could no longer be restrained, and particularly, when it was observed,, that the Jews were sitting and grinning spitefully in their homes, listening to the news*over the radio of the death of the German legation-counsellor. This was a act of provocation which could no longer be tolerated. After midnight the excitement of the
populace reached its peak and a large crowd marched to the synagogues in Nürnberg and Fuerth and burned these two Jewish buildings, where the murder of Germans had been preached.
The fire-brigades, which had been notified immediately, saw to it that the fire was confined to its original outbreak. The windows of Jewish shopkeepers, who still had not given up hope of selling their junk to the stupid Goims, were smashed. Thanks to the disciplined behaviour of the S.A. men and the police, who had rushed to the scene, there was no plundering.
