The Night of Broken Glass?
That's hard to answer. There was no real date that it began, but many point to the night of November 9, 1938 as the beginning. This night was called the Kristallnacht, or night of broken glass. On this night, thousands of Jewish businesses and Synagogues were destroyed by the Nazis, and more than 200,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

Yes, that is the translation.
the holocaust wasn't called the night of anything but there was the "night of broken glass" which was called Kristallnacht. This was when the Nazis invaded destroyed Jewish owned businesses.
Different historians prefer different dates for the start of the Holocaust. The distinctive feature of the Holocaust is genocide. The first routine mass gassings started on 8 December 1941. However, before that - from 1939-40 onwards - the Polish Jews had been herded into ghettos and forced to live on grossly inadequate food. I think it makes better sense to regard the 'Night of the Broken Glass' as a prelude to the Holocaust, not the actual start.
The Night of Broken Glass
It's hard to say exactly, but it's generally accepted to have started with Kristallnacht (night of the broken glass) on November 9 1938, when the front windows of Jewish-owned shops and houses were broken by rioters.
I think you mean Kristallnacht. Crystal night. A particular night in Nazi Germany where most Jewish owned businesses had their windows smashed.
