The bulletin admitted that Herr Hermann Gram!’s account of th persecution is a “factual presentation.” I Graml’s book tells a horrible story of what is termed the Crystal Night, of November 9-10, 1938. On that night, | the program that resulted in death for 6,000,000 Jews| got underway in earnest. | The Government bulletin did not mince its words in| describing other atrocities committed by the Nazi Gov- ernment. For instance, the bulletin noted that the same leaders who murdered the Jews by the millions did not value other human life more highly when these Nazi leaders sacrificed the lives of Germans in wholesale num- bers after the war was already lost.
