Although the main incident took place on the night of November 9-10, 1938. Nazi attrocities against Jewish citizens and their property began in November 7 and continued until 13 November 1938. In its wake over 1,400 Jewish synagogues and prayer houses were attacked and destroyed and thousands of Jewish businesses and homes ransacked and looted. It is assumed today that some 400 Jewish victims lost their lives at the hands of Nazis (official Nazi figures listed 91 dead and 267 synagogues destroyed). Approximately 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to the concentration camps at Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. "Kristallnacht" literally translates as "Crystal Night" but is known in English as "Night of Broken Glass".
The arrested Jews were eventually released after giving an undertaking that they would surrender all their wealth to the Nazi state and leave the country.
To add insult to injury, the Nazis introduced a bill forcing the Jewish population to pay a punitive levy of 1 billion Reichsmarks for their "hostility towards the German people" as well as confiscating any insurance payments for the damage caused and forcing them to clear up the damage at their own expense.
