A pogrom or series of coordinated attacks against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on 9-10 November 1938, carried out by SA stormtroopers and civilians. German authorities looked on without intervening. The attacks left the streets covered with broken glass from the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues.
