No, the generally accepted date for the start of World War 2 is 1 September 1939, when the Nazis invaded Poland. The 'Night of the Broken Glass' was 9-10 November 1938, and there is no link between the two events.
'Night of the broken glass' (Kristallnacht) took place on November 9th-10th 1938. Jewish houses, shops, synagogues, villages etc...were ransacked and destroyed in both parts of Germany and Austria in supposed retaliation for the assassination of German diplomat Ernst Vom Rath by a Jew. Around a 100 Jews were killed and many 1000's sent off to concentration camps. Further, impossibly tough economic and social sanctions were then passed against the Jewish community.
Shattered glass littered the streets the next day hence the name.
If you're referencing the event in a text use 'Kristallnacht' not 'night of the broken glass' Bit of Deutsch never goes amiss.
