Question 3

Instructions: Identify the following terms. 
Kristallnacht

Accepted Answer

Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, refers to a series of coordinated attacks against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on the night of November 9 to 10, 1938. Orchestrated by the Nazi regime, these attacks were carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians. Jewish homes, schools, and businesses were destroyed, and synagogues were particularly targeted for vandalism, including being set on fire. The name "Kristallnacht" comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed.

The violence of Kristallnacht resulted in the deaths of at least 91 Jews, and approximately 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and taken to concentration camps. This event marked a significant escalation in the Nazi persecution of Jews, which would culminate in the Holocaust, the systematic, state-sponsored genocide of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators during World War II. Kristallnacht is often considered a prelude to the Holocaust and a clear sign of the violent anti-Semitic policies that would follow.
