The reading "Taking a Stand" is located on moodle under "Boy in the Striped Pajamas" section. Read it, and respond to the following: Describe the choices that were made by Germans in response to Kristillnacht. What choice might you have made?
The Germans saw the Kristallnacht as a turning point of the country. They had to make important choices the days after. One family chose to leave the country because their son was told to throw stones at the Jews. Other Germans protested by resigning from the NAZI party. Others sent letters to foreign embassies anonymously. But others sent food and other necessities to their Jewish friends. But a majority of Germans just stood by and watched, ignoring what was going on at that time.If I was in Germany at that time, I would send letters to the foreign embassies in protest to what was happening.
