Behind the Page... Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht means "Night of the Broken Glass." This is a very literal
naming of the horrific Nazi pogrom (which is Yiddish for destruction)
against Jews on November 9, 1938. Synagogues were burned, German and
Austrian Jewish businesses destroyed and looted and tens of thousands of
German and Austrian Jewish men were arrested.
