The term Kristallnacht can loosely be translated as the night of (breaking) glass. There was a sudden mass attack by Nazi troopers, on Jewish businesses, homes, and synagogues, with massive amounts of vandalism, murder, and arrests. It was the inauguration of the Holocaust.

∙ 13y agoKristallnacht was indeed the beginning of the Holocaust. It was the one significant event that stands out during the Holocaust era. SS leader Reinhard Heydrich reported on the 12th that 7,500 businesses had been destroyed, 267 synagogues burned and 91 Jews killed. About 25,000 Jewish men were rounded up and later sent to concentration camps where they were often brutalized by SS guards and in some cases randomly chosen to be beaten to death. The Night of Broken Glass starkly signaled a movement towards the Final Solution, a systematic program of genocide designed to annihilate every Jew in Europe.
