Why didn't the fire department put out the fires?" says Andreas Nachama, director of the Topography of Terror Foundation, an independent research foundation that is sponsoring the Kristallnacht exhibit. The mass-circulation Bild newspaper set aside its usual fare of crime and sports to show one of Berlin's largest synagogues in flames under the headline "The Night that the Synagogues Burned!" while German TV is carrying documentaries about the pogrom...
