Answer 1

On 9-10 November 1938, about 400 Jews killed and a further 30,000 were seized and sent to concentration camps. Of these, 2,000 were dead within six weeks. Note. The number of Jews killed that night was for a long time given as 91. This was the official figure given some days later by the Nazi regime. More recently, research (cited in the German language Wikipedia article on the subject) has carefully examined the available evidence and concluded that the real figure was about 400). == ==

At the time of the Kristallnacht there were about 455,000 Jews in Greater Germany, so the great majority survived this particular incident. A rush to leave Germany followed ...
