Kristallnacht, the Nazi pogrom against the Jews of Germany on the night of November 9, 1938, marked the first decisive step toward normalizing hatred, legitimizing violence, and denying Jewish rights.
It was the culmination of a campaign that many underestimated. That night signaled the beginning of the erosion and eventual abolition of the principles of freedom and human rights — a path that led directly to Auschwitz. It was the night when the subculture of fanaticism triumphed over the culture of civilization and humanism.

October 7, 2023 — with 1.200 mutilated and abused bodies left by the fanatical Hamas terrorists in the towns and villages of southern Israel, and 251 innocent hostages held in the dungeons of Gaza — changed everything for Israeli society and for the Jewish world in the Diaspora and changed it forever. It opened a wound. It marked the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and triggered a rapid surge of antisemitism, as a result of a deliberate strategy aimed at demonizing Israel and delegitimizing its right to exist — an insidious and dangerous strategy that has succeeded in eroding Western societies and in breaching the red lines that separate legitimate criticism of Israeli policy from antisemitism.
