It all started off when Adolf Hitler wanted someone to blame on so he blamed the Jews. He started what is now the Holocaust. The night of broken glass, also known as Kristallnacht, started when one young Jewish man shot a German solider to protect his family. After that German solider's all over Germany started looting and breaking into Jewish stores and taking everything. They also killed or sent Jewish people to concentration camps. Hope this helped!

It was an attack on Jewish people, homes, stores, schools, hospitals, and synagogues in Germany. 91 people were killed, 30,000 placed in concentration camps, and over 1,000 synagogues were burned. It was the beginning of the Nazi Final Solution, meaning extermination of Jews.

However, there were no extermination (death) camps in Germany. Most of them were in Poland, where they were used to exterminate Polish Jews.
