The Jewish Family Story Is So Neighbor Adolf Hitler

A Jewish man who once lived next door to Adolf Hitler, Edgar Feuchtwanger, reveals how it feels to live next to the dictator.
He also told how he survived the Nazi massacre.
This story becomes extraordinary, because Uncle Edgar is a novelist who is regarded as one of the "personal enemies" of the Fuhrer.

In an interview with CNN, Edgar explains the story of his childhood spent in the Nazi Germany.
Although his father became one of the Nazi prisoners, his family managed to escape to England. And it was in the land of Queen Elizabeth that Edgar's family finally settled.
Edgar first saw Hilter on the street, Munich, in 1932 when he was eight years old. It was a year before Hitler got his Chancellor degree.
At that time, Edgar was being taken by his nanny. At the same time, Hitler looked at him very kindly and generously.
The man who has climbed the head 9's age still remembers how the people around him shouted, "Heil Hitler, Heil Hitler!"
If Hitler knew that the kid he was staring at was a Jew, Edgar was sure he would never live up till now and be able to share his experience.

All the nightmares began on November 9-10, 1938, when the events of "Kristallnacht", or "Reichskristallnacht", were in English called "Night of Broken Glass". While in Indonesian terms known as "Crystal Night" or "Glass Night Breaks".
It was the night of a brutal assault against the Jews throughout Germany and Austria.
The name refers to the anti-Jewish pogroms that took place across all of Germany, the annexed Austria, and in Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic and Slovak Republic) occupied by the German army.

That night, 91 Jews were killed. Tens of thousands more were arrested. Thousands of Jewish houses, offices, and synagogues were destroyed.
The violence was mainly triggered by Nazi Party officials, SA members, and Hitler Youth.
After the event, German officials announced that Kristallnaght's outbreak was a public spontaneous reaction in response to the death of Ernst vom Rath, a German Nazi diplomat.
As a result of the violence, Edgar's father, who has a book publishing effort, was taken to Nazi's first concentration camp, Dachau.
While his family feared that he would never return, Edgar's father turned back after six weeks. And Edgar believed that it was the Nazi way to scare the Jews into leaving Germany.
Shortly thereafter, the Edgar family moved to England, and settled there.
Edgar himself has now become a respected professor of history. He also wrote a memoir of his experience, entitled I Was Hitler's Neighbor, published in England.
