Kristallnacht is translated from German into "night of broken glass," which is fitting.

Jews were beaten during that day, and forced to relocate elsewhere. It was the start of the Nazi's Final Solution.
The Jews in Germany.

The short answer was that they were not. The German government wanted to portray an image that he German civilians were rising up in a popular movement against the Jews, but this was not the case, the anti-Jewish actions of that night were mainly carried out by agents of the Nazis.

Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass" (so called because the Nazis broke windows in Jewish shops and homes--they also destroyed synagogues) was actually a two-night event. It happened the nights of November 9 and 10, 1938. Strangely enough, the Berlin Wall opened on November 9, 1989--fifty years to the day after Kristallnacht.
The term kristallnacht means the night of the broken glass. It was the night Jewish shops and synagogues were attacked by the Nazi's leaving the streets covered in glass.
