  • Should I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Reichskristallnacht today?

    Stupid Nazis, ruined the day. Now we have the 3rd October as national holiday, which is not that cool...

      Well, you could also go to a Bierstube and remember
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        Berlin wall is easier to pronounce, remember that.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

          You should remember the Kaiser's abdication!

                Kristallnacht sounds so nice, unless you remember what it is

                  Fall of Berlin Wall = party
                  Reichskristallnacht = horror

                  You decide...

                    We should never forget the Kristallnacht.

                      Not very many people alive who remember it personally. Remember its symbolism, but celebrate the reunification, the Fall of the Wall.

                        Many Americans think The Wall was a wall across Berlin, and it was...but that wall also cut across Germany, a huge, horrible thing, a killing machine run by sadists. Alot of Germans seemed to forget it was there, except for those that lived close to it. These were my favorite Germans. They didn't treat Americans as occupation forces. They knew that the American, British, and fellow German forces were all that stood for their freedom against the true oppressors, the communist Russians.

                        Now, that wall is gone. The frontier of freedom will be far to the east. New nations reborn from the oppression are standing guard with a true appreciation of what freedom means.

                        We have new challenges, but The Wall is gone.

                          The movie, or just the album? I'd imagine they still sell both.

                              Too bad new walls are built today. A particular one might come to mind, built by a people, who apparently only remember the other 9th of nov... So it´s important to remember both...
