The Night of Broken Glass, or Kristallnacht, which occurred on November 9-10, 1938, marked a significant escalation in Nazi anti-Jewish violence and persecution. It involved widespread vandalism of Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes, resulting in the arrest of thousands of Jewish men. This event served as a precursor to the Holocaust, signaling to Jews that their situation was dire and prompting many to flee Germany. It also desensitized the public to violence against Jews, paving the way for the more systematic atrocities that would follow during the Holocaust.

What was the date when the night of broken glass occurred regarding the beginning of the Holocaust?

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.
