History

On Nov 7, 1938, a Polish Jew, Hershel Grynszpan, shot German diplomat and Nazi Party SA member Ernst vom Rath at the German embassy in Paris. Vom Rath died from his wounds two days later, which also happened to be the 15th anniversary of the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, a high holy day in the Nazi Party calendar.

Goebbels, with Hitler’s approval, made an inflammatory anti-Jewish speech at the Munich beer hall that night which resulted in mob violence and Krystalnacht, which is often cited as the beginning of the Holocaust.

Any conclusion you draw between this bit of history and the rants of the far left over the Tucson shootings are your own.
