Broken Glass II

I already commented on how someone had a attacked the synagogue basically next door to us. Well, it turns out that fifty yards down the road the Nazis burned to the ground a synagogue during Kristallnacht. This was back in November 1938, almost exactly 70 years ago.

Here is the plaque in front of the apartment building that now stands there.

I wonder how many people went to that synagogue, how many naming ceremonies there were, how many births and weddings celebrated? I wonder how someone could throw stones through a synagogue window within sight of this memorial.
