A unique document which lays bare the 'depths of human misery' inflicted on Jewish people during the German pogrom which happened 80 years ago today has been discovered in Scottish archives.

Unearthed in the World Mission Council archive at the Church of Scotland offices in Edinburgh and made public for the first time, the book contains disturbing details of the attacks targeted at the Jewish community and serves as a reminder of what can happen when hatred and prejudice takes hold.
