Nov 9, 1938
A pogrom against Jewish businesses, synagogues, and Jews in Germany and Austria was carried out by Sturmabteilung troops and civilians.
The series of attacks that killed about 70 people and put 30,000 Jews in prison is known as the Night of Broken Glass or Kristallnacht (German: Crystal Night).

Quote for Today
"That's where we heard what had been going on in Berlin during the night - that Jewish shops had been smashed up and people brutally killed. Shop windows had been broken everywhere, and the words 'Jew' or 'Jewish pig' written in many places." - Ruth Winkelmann
