Kristallnacht - Nationwide State-Sponsored Persecution, Violence and Murder against Jewish People

this date in German and Jewish history - Nazi Crimes against Humanity
November 9–10, 1938: Kristallnacht - Nationwide State-Sponsored Persecution, Violence and Murder against Jewish People
"Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November pogrom(s) (German: Novemberpogrome, was a pogrom against Jews carried out by the Nazi Party's Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary forces along with some participation from the Hitler Youth and German civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938 ... Jewish homes, hospitals and schools were ransacked as attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Rioters destroyed over 1,400 synagogues and prayer rooms throughout Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland. Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps ... The persecution and economic damage inflicted upon German Jews continued after the pogrom, even as their places of business were ransacked. They were forced to pay Judenvermögensabgabe, a collective fine or 'atonement contribution' of 1 billion Reichsmarks (€4.5 billion or US$5.3 billion in 2021) for the murder of Ernst vom Rath, which was levied by the compulsory acquisition of 20% of all Jewish property by the state. Insurance payments worth 6 million Reichsmarks (€27 million or US$32 million in 2021) for property damage due to the Jewish community were instead paid to the Reich government as 'damages to the German Nation'. Jews were required to pay for the cost of all damages caused by the pogrom to their residences and businesses."

Greg Howe – guitar, drums, bass, engineering, mixing, production
"Uncertain Terms is the third studio album by guitarist Greg Howe, released on November 8, 1994 through Shrapnel Records ... Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave Uncertain Terms three stars out of five, describing it as following in the footsteps of its 1993 predecessor Introspection and being 'Crammed full of completely over the top rock/fusion guitar solos'. He praised Howe's guitar playing as having 'unfathomable speed and stamina' and that he 'has taken all of the innovations of Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen and expanded them to monstrous proportions.' He also noted '5 Mile Limit' and 'Stringed Sanity" as highlights.'" -Wikipedia
[[My comment: 3 out of 5 stars, you gotta be kidding me! If you don't like instrumental virtouso guitar, just come out and say it already. What a stupid.]

anniversary of a personal favorite of mine - for guitar fans
November 7, 1995: Greg Howe - Parallax - Shrapnel Records
Greg Howe (guitar, keyboard, engineering, mixing, production - Jon Doman (drums except track 7) - Kevin Soffera (drums track 7) - Andy Ramirez (bass) - Kenneth K. Lee Jr. (mastering)
"Parallax is the fourth studio album by guitarist Greg Howe, released on November 7, 1995 through Shrapnel Records ... Andy Hinds at AllMusic awarded Parallax 2.5 stars out of 5, describing it as following the same outline as Howe's two previous albums, Introspection (1993) and Uncertain Terms (1994). He said it 'doesn't offer any surprises, but delivers mind-blowing guitar performances by the truckload' and that 'guitar geeks will revel in the over-the-top decadence of this highly indulgent instrumental shred-fest.' As with Introspection, he criticized the album's production as 'rather clinical-sounding (especially those triggered drums)', but praised the evolution of Howe's guitar tone: 'His guitar tone has evolved from a brash, metallic sound (heard in his earlier work) to a smooth, compressed signal, which suits his extended legato forays quite well.'" -Wikipedia
[My comment: 2.5 out of 5 stars really?! No! That is a stupid for such a rating!]
