Last update - 10:57 10/11/2006 Police in Germany arrest 16 for disrupting jewish Kristallnacht memorial By Reuters Police in an east German town arrested 16 people after neo-Nazis disrupted commemorations of Kristallnacht, a 1938 Nazi pogrom against the Jews, officials said Friday. Police in Frankfurt an der Oder said the rioters tore up floral wreaths Thursday night and threw away candles placed on a memorial stone for the city's synagogue, which was destroyed by the Nazis. Some shouted "Sieg Heil" as officers moved in to arrest them, police said. Advertisement Those detained were between 16 and 24 years old. On November 9, 1938 - dubbed Kristallnacht or the "Night of Broken Glass" - Adolf Hitler's Nazis attacked Jewish homes and businesses throughout Germany in a prelude to the Holocaust. Earlier on Thursday, President Horst Koehler, giving a speech at the consecration of a new synagogue in Munich, warned that anti-Semitism was still present in Germany. The new synagogue is near the building where Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels delivered the speech that paved the way for the November 9-10, 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom. Roused by the speech, mobs destroyed hundreds of synagogues across Germany and in parts of Austria, ransacked Jewish homes and stores, and attacked Jews, in some cases beating them to death. Neo-Nazis remain a fringe group in Germany, where their views repel most people. But recent electoral successes by the far-right National Democratic party, which has won seats in two regional legislatures, have caused widespread concern and calls for more effective measures against extremism.
