- Although Nazi apologetics try to claim that the events of
- Krystallnacht are not to blame on the Nazi leadership, the
- following instuctions from SS General Heydrich leave no
- doubt that the pogrom was indeed supported by them:
-
-
- Message from SS-Grupenfuehrer Heydrich to all State Police Main
- Offices and Field Offices, November 10 1938 (before "Kristallnacht",
- the "night of broken glass", the first large scale pogrom
- against the Jews)
- [NCaA, Vol. III, p. 545]

- Regards: Measures against Jews tonight.
- .
- .
- .
-
- a) Only such measures may be taken which do not jeopardize
- German life or property (for instance, burning of synagogues
- only if there is no danger of fires for the neighbourhoods).
-
- b) Business establishments and homes of Jews may be destroyed but
- not looted. The police have been instructed to supervise the
- execution of these directives and to arrest looters.
-
- c) In Business streets special care is to be taken that non-Jewish
- establishments will be safeguarded at all cost against damage.

-
- As soon as the events of this night permit the use of the designated
- officers, as many Jews, particularly wealthy ones, as the local
- jails will hold, are to be arrested in all districts. Initially
- only healthy male Jews, not too old, are to be arrested. After
- the arrests have been carried out the appropriate concentration
- camp is to be contacted immediately with a view to a quick
- transfer of the Jews to the camps...
