It all happened on November 9, 1938 when violence against Jews broke out across the Reich. It appeared to be unplanned anger over the assassination of a German official in Paris at the hands of a Jewish teenager but the fact was that German Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazis carefully organized the pogroms. The morning after, German Jewish men were arrested for the crime of being Jewish and sent to concentration camps.

∙ 7y agoThe "Kristallnacht", in German "die Kristallnacht", transcribes literally into "The crystal night".
The event took place the night between 9 and 10 of November in 1938.
During the Kristallnacht, anti-semitic elements of then Nazi Germany, mainly the Gestapo, the SS, and the Hitler Youth, attacked and demolished synagogues, shops, and other Jewish etablishments.
The name of the night pertains to the broken glassthat littered the streets in the wake of the rampage.
The Kristallnacht marked a milestone in the escalation of state-sanctioned mistreatment of the Jewish minority. Many Jews were seized and transported to Buchenwald and other concentration camps.
Others were beaten, maimed, and even killed during the event itself.
Today, in modern day Germany, every November 9 is called "Schicksalstag" in commemoration of both the suffering of the Jews during the Kristallnacht, and also to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
(9 November is also the day of the proclamation of the German Republic in 1918 and the day of Hitler's attempted putsch in 1923).
