The Kristallnacht also known as the Night of Broken Glass was a pogrom against Jews throughout Nazi Germany on 9-10 November of 1938. It was carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians. Nazis in Germany torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish homes, schools, and businesses. Around 100 Jews were killed. In the after math of it some 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps. Prior to Kristallnacht the Nazi policies had primarily been nonviolent, but after Kristallnacht conditions for German Jews grew increasingly worse. The American President reacted by reading a statement to the media in which he harshly denounced the rising tide of anti-Semitism and violence in Germany.

Amazing to see how many Jews were arrested and killed in a time span of only 2 days.
