Many sources give the figure as 91, which is the figure given by the Nazis at the time. Other sources incorporating research done since 1980, give a much higher figure - about 400.

Who did the Nazis blame for starting the night of broken glass?

A Polish Jew named Herschel Grynszpan. He assassinated a Nazi politician, and the Nazis used it as reason to attack the Jews - Grynszpan made the Jews look dangerous. The Nazis retaliated by initiating Kristallnacht - better known as The Night of Broken Glass, where they burned, looted, and destroyed Jewish homes, businesses, and places of worship (synagogues). Over 30,000 Jews were also arrested, and 91 were subsequently killed.

How many Jews were killed in 1933?

The Holocaust in the sense of routine mass killings started in 1941. In 1938 about 400 (?) Jews were killed during the Night of the Broken Glass (Kristallnacht). (The widely quoted figure of 91 is inaccurate and was that given by the Nazis themselves). During and immediately after the Night of the Broken Glass, about 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps, and by Christmas 1938, over 2,000 of them were dead. That makes a death toll at least 2,400 for 1938.

Kristallnacht (German for: "Night of the Broken Glass"), was when the Shutzstaffel (SS) and the Sturmabteilung (SA) went to Jewish shops and businesses in Germany and vandalized them. They murdered Jews and took many of them away. Even the Polizei (German Police) approved of these actions. Some civilians even took part.
