Watch this rare archival footage of Kristallnacht in the city of Buehl, 9-10 November 1938. Firemen can be seen standing at the foot of the burning synagogue, watching its destruction and ready to prevent the flames from spreading to neighboring buildings. Members of the SS or SA appear in the film, apparently having come from a different town. This signifies that the riots did not break out spontaneously, as the Germans claimed, but were organized by the authorities, which sent people from other areas to oversee the events.
