“On November 9, 1938, the Nazis unleashed a wave of pogroms against Germany’s Jews. In the space of a few hours, thousands of synagogues and Jewish businesses and homes were damaged or destroyed. This event came to be called Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass”) for the shattered store windowpanes that carpeted German streets.” For more information on the Kristallnacht, and the violence that occurred, visit The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

If you want to read a compelling and insightful accounting of the horrors of that night, I would suggest you read Martin Gilbert’s Kristallnact. It is a book in my own library.

Jew Wishes…Peace for all.
