Kristallnacht

The Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom carried out by Nazi forces and German civilians against Jewish communities in Germany on November 9-10, 1938. The attacks resulted in the destruction of 267 synagogues, over 7,000 Jewish businesses, and the arrest of 30,000 Jewish men, with estimates of fatalities ranging from 91 to 638. The event is widely regarded as a prelude to the Holocaust, with historians viewing it as a turning point in the Nazi regime's systematic persecution and murder of Jews.learn more on wikipedia
