Depend on Us

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?
