Kristallnacht
Kristallnacht
Night of Broken Glass
Kristallnacht marks the night on which the Jewish community of Nazi Germany, including Austria and Sudetenland, was attacked by the Nazis and their sympathizers. Synagogues and Jewish-owned properties were devastated, and Jewish people were attacked. A community-wide observance is held annually to commemorate Kristallnacht, which took place on November, 9-10, 1938.
