Kristallnacht, also called the "Night of Broken Glass," was a horrific, violent assault launched by the German Nazi government against Jews on November 9, 1938. Over the course of the two day pogrom, over 30,000 Jews were arrested, 91 Jews were brutally murdered and hundreds more were injured. Kristallnacht foreshadowed the terror and destruction of the Holocaust.
