Greenstein said.
“ K ris ta lln a c h t,”
says
Greenstein, “ foreshadowed the
far darker night that would soon
overtake Europe's Jews.”
This intolerance and hatred
perpetrated by the Nazis later
spread to other religious and eth

Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Gyp
sies. By the end o f Worid War II,
Nazi Germany was responsible
for the murder o f 11 million men,
women and children.
Homecoming Follows Pastor’s Exit
A north and northeast Port

homecoming celebration fol

year long inquiry by the O r
egon A ttorney G en eral’s O f
fice that focused on w hether
general principals o f gover
nance were being upheld at
the church.
C h u rch lead e rs L evan
