still trying to make sense

I don't know if you really can make sense of it. I think maybe Martin Luther and reformationists had influenced Jews more than we thought, and this is tragic, but the changes even rabbi Jacob Neusner talked about in his book A Rabbi Talks With Jesus. Jesus changed people in the west and brought civilization. So the tragedy is they, in their trusting, loving naivety didn't see the brewing hatred. Bc people can be horrible players, taking Divine things and pretending to believe in them, blaspheming God with no expectation of judgment, like FOOLS! And this is what the Jews encountered in Germany. But the hatred, all of it, was hidden behind evil pretense. It's hard to believe people would take divine things and trample them like this, if that is not what YOU are. They had not realized the evil that people are capable of. They had grown to feel secure where they were not. It worries me how our American Jews have grown so comfortable admitting they are Jews. It has been right out in the open. And this betrayal that occurred is never far away.  Oh, may the lesson be learned, and never forgotten.

 They didn't realize how conversely with the progress of the west after reformation times, there are regressive narcissistic souls who hate the good changes and progress. And the Germans fell prey to insecurity and low self esteem at this time looking over at the Jews who were doing well financially while the Germans were not. Where the Bible was first allowed to be translated into the common tongue, many read it without truly understanding it, and it opened them up to hearing the devil's lies.  And Satan wanted revenge for the reformation, as he has wanted revenge for all the good brought into this world by the Jews. More important than anything, the Jews were about to go back to Israel. The enemy angel was furious that this prophecy was actually going to happen after so much time. It's the devil's narcissism reflected in humans who like him. In fact they don't mind Satan's angels wearing their own human flesh. Calvinism is also to blame. It has given people an excuse for their evil.  God said "my people perish for lack of knowledge." Let this light not ever grow dim.
