JL;DR SUMMARY In Germany, the annual remembrance of Kristallnacht is marked under a different name—"November Pogrom"—to better reflect the brutal and violent nature of the events on November 9-10, 1938, when Nazi anti-Jewish riots destroyed synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses, killing at least 91 Jews. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
