On Kristallnacht Goebbels went out to view the wreckage of
Jewish synagogues. Goebbels, standing
calmly on the street, watched the proceedings.
Suddenly, a taxi driver dashed up to him and tapped Goebbels
on the shoulder and said, “You’d better get out before they get you.”
Defiant, Goebbels said, "Don’t you know who I am? I am Josef
Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda.”
The Jew, unmoved, replied, “Well considering I just warned
the last three Goebbels to hurry up and hide I suggest you do the same.” -Albert Friedlander
In the final analysis, who can we depend upon but ourselves?
