I've been sitting here for the last 10 minutes absorbing this piece. I hate these evil, sadistic bastards with every fiber of my being. My fervent hope is that in the not to distant future we hold Nuremberg type trials for these enthusiastic thugs who'll plead "we were just following orders", as they are consigned to some hell hole prison like Parchman. In the meantime, I keep up the good fight.
The arrests of Jewish people by the Gestapo frequently took place at night or during the early morning hours, particularly during large-scale operations designed to maximize terror and minimize resistance. The most well-documented instance is the coordinated mass arrest of approximately 30,000 Jewish men during Kristallnacht (the "Night of Broken Glass") on November 9–10, 1938.
Well, that was cheery. I should save Dworkin’s stack for that moment right before I’m driven to escape into a bubble popping game.
I have been waiting for word the of three AM knock, it was always the most common and horrifying representation of the Gestapo and about as disturbing as anything I’ve read. The blow-by-blow brings it home in a way that is impossible to ignore much longer, I hope it cuts through the noise for even a few people- it takes a lot to get a boulder rolling, but you know the rest. I appreciate how you manage to weave in key tidbits about the way these guys could be dealt with. As usual.

I eagerly await the day when all of these evil racists, from the top all the way to the thugs who are invading homes, are held accountable.

Thanks Jack. This piece was well-written and moved me to tears. We need to stop this terror. Your words will help us do that.
