Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht (Night of the Broken Glass) was between 9-10 November 1938. It started because a young Jewish student was angry with the way the Nazis were treating the Jews. In anger, he shot a German diplomat in Paris. In retaliation, Nazi leaders encouraged their supporters to attack German Jews and smash up Jewish shops, synagogues and buildings. 91 Jewish people were killed. Additionally, 30,000 were arrested and incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps. Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as the attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Over 1,000 synagogues were burned and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged.
