Kristallnacht



Today is the day U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement moves forward on its threat to raid the homes of "undocumented immigrants," a move that brings to mind an earlier action when, in November 1938, Nazi's did the same to Jewish families -- in addition to burning down synagogues and looting businesses, an event that became known as Kristallnacht.

So yes, more evidence of what Kay Higgins was alluding to in her talk at ECUAD yesterday, Revisting Brecht's Five Difficulties (or, how can artists respond to the re-emergence of fascism?), part of READ Books and the Libby Leshgold Gallery's At Least Five Difficulties: A Symposium on Artists' Publishing.
