Holocaust
There was a small Jewish community in Wolfersheim since at least 1700.[2] On Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, the Jews of the town were brutally attacked by thugs. Their legal documents were destroyed and some were sent to the concentration camps where they perished at the hands of the Nazis. The Jewish cemetery still stands today though there are no Jews left in the town.

gollark: I have a SAS drive which is in a ~10-year-old server. But it doesn't support SMART, since it's a SAS drive, so I have *no* clue what's up with that.
gollark: Surely you can get around that pretty easily.
