The Nazis had been in control of Germany for about five years before this shameful event. If any police or fireman had wanted to intercede on behalf of the German Jews, what chance do you think they would have had? The police stood by and watched. The firemen were busy making sure that the fires did not spread to neighbouring "Aryan" property.
The police was ordered not to protect Jews of their property and only to intervene if non-Jews was attacked or non-Jewish property was damaged.They did nothing, they 'turned a blind eye'.Their job was not to interfere (even when asked to by civilians). [The same went for the fire service].
