Kristallnacht means Night of Broken Glass. This pogrom happened in November 1938 in Germany. Hitler permitted Joseph Goebbels (minister of Propaganda) to start a pogrom against Jews throughout the Reich (the Empire). Nazi stormtroopers smashed Jewish shops, and thousands of Jews were arrested. They burnt over 400 synagogues, and killed about 100 Jews. About 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps.
