Who is Walter H. Pehle?
Dr. Walter H. Pehle is a professor of German history, who has studied and written on the subject of Nazism in Germany.
His writings include forceful views on terminology for Kristallnacht, including
It is clear that the term Crystal Night serves to foster a vicious minimalizing of its memory, a discounting of grave reality: such cynical appellations function to reinterpret manslaughter and murder, arson, robbery, plunder, and massive property damage, transforming these into a glistening event marked by sparkle and gleam.
Phele wrote "November 1938: From Reichskristallnacht to Genocide", which was published by New Yorks Berg Publishers and distributed souly in the US and Canada in 1991.
