The night between the 9th and 10th of November 1938 is infamously known as Kristallnacht. During that night pogroms against the Jews took place throughout the streets of the Third Reich (Germany and Austria). The moniker derives from the broken glass of the shattered windows of synagogues, Jewish communal institutions and of Jewish residents of Germany’s businesses.
