The 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a violent anti-Jewish pogrom, was commemorated with tributes and calls to combat rising antisemitism. The event, which occurred in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland, involved the destruction of synagogues, arrest of thousands of Jews, and marked a turning point in history. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin became a focal point for the commemoration, with the message 'Never again is now' resonating strongly. However, reports of antisemitic attacks and protests in Berlin highlighted the ongoing threat of hate and discrimination against the Jewish community, prompting renewed calls to stand against such atrocities.

It's been 85 years since Kristallnacht 85 years since my great grandfather was shipped to a concentration camp. 85 years since my grandmother was sent on kindertransport with her two sisters. 85 years since the antisemitism that had been building erupted into vicious violence.

#Kristallnacht, which was perpetrated 85 years ago #OTD, was a murderous example of the capacity of humans to escalate from indifference, demonization & singling out of a group of people - Jews, in this case - to violence, while too many bystanders looked the other way. Today,… https://t.co/U5gZXgxaJz https://t.co/M7rj1WFLWx

On the anniversary of Kristallnacht, protestors attack and beat Jews—and frighten Holocaust survivors into keeping their identities anonymous. I am not lying. @SethAMandel has the details. People are actively doing evil out there. https://t.co/FZz9q1BRfx

85 years ago, the world remained silent when Jews were targeted and killed during the Kristallnacht pogrom, the night of broken glass. We won’t let history repeat itself. Join us in supporting the Jewish people and standing up against hate. https://t.co/C0JlRRUACE

Today is the 85th anniversary of the November Pogrom (Kristallnacht). It was an orgy of anti-Jewish violence across Germany, Austria & the Sudetenland. Living through this moment in history adds a special sadness when commemorating the Shoah. Never again was a lie.
Kristallnacht at 85. I posted this essay in @TheAtlantic on the 80th - more timely than ever, sad to say. https://t.co/1yeR4WmXs6 https://t.co/gM6TGhZHgu
Kristallnacht was response to a polish Jëw assassinating a German politican. Of course you aren't told that part, so you believe Germans just randomly starting attacking Jëwish people and property for no reason. Remember: Jëws can never do wrong, and are always the victims! https://t.co/uc7ZKIT6MW https://t.co/E6jYCHPGaP
75 years ago tonight: Kristallnacht. Jewish homes, shops, and schools ransacked; 267 synagogues destroyed. 30,000 Jews arrested and sent to camps. This followed shortly after the appeasement at Munich, and after two decades of U.S. isolationism. The old synagogue in Aachen: https://t.co/QvLWsgTu1V
