Broken Glass, Shattered Dreams

Lest we forget. That's why we must remember the horrors of Kristallnacht,
the Night of Broken Glass, and the foundation it laid for what would be
the darkest time in
Jewish history, the
Shoah.
Many laws and
regulations aimed
at social ostracism
came with the
National Socialist
German Workers'
party seizure of
power in 1933,
but German Jews
somehow held on
to their economic
standing despite the spread of the National Socialist movement, the
euphenism for Nazism.
The assassination of a German diplomat in Paris by a Jew, however,
gave the Nazi fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, a sudden chance to legitimize a pogrom
(above) against German and Austrian Jews in the form of a state attack on
Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues.
The reign of terror began the night of Nov. 9, 1938, and went into the
next morning. When it stopped, 7,500 businesses were destroyed, scores
of synagogues and homes were burned, and dozens of Jews were mur-
dered. Countless women were raped. German concentration camps also
began to take on a larger role; 26,000 Jews were quickly confined, but
most soon were released.
Hitler's secret police and the Hitler Youth wreaked most of the havoc.
But in keeping with Hitler's dream of world indoctrination, his official
pronounCement "emphasized the spontaneous and broad participation of
the masses:' according to the Encyclopedia of the Third Reich by Louis Leo
Snyder. Mind numbing, indeed.
Shabbat shalom.

Dear
Barb ;' ave
tried many
diets in good
faith with-
out success.
Are there other people like me?
Thanks, Sally (Sally is a pseud-
onym for the many different people
who have asked me this question).

A

nswer: Dear Sally, All
people were not created
equal when it comes to
the ability to lose weight. Indeed,
there's an actual term—"weight-
loss resistance"—that has been
used to describe people who have
chronic difficulty losing weight.

-4- Unfortunately, there's no
0 one silver bullet that clearly
-..\ explains why some people
can lose weight easily and
. others cannot. Current re-
search seems to indicate
that weight-loss resis-
tance may be attribut-
able to different factors:
/ • Metabolism—which
t
// itself is not just a sum of
/ chemical reactions going
on in the body, but also is a
synergy of age, height,
weight, fat, muscle, activity-lev-
els, absorption and assimilation;
• Hormonal activity—e.g., the
levels/efficacy of hormones like
ghrelin, insulin, leptin, glucagon
and cortisol;
• Genetic makeup—A recent Tufts.
U. study identified a gene variant
that may break the calorie-in-
take/body-weight connection.

Next time—some strategies and
action steps that may help.
