Yes. Kristallnacht took place on 9-10 November 1938. It was so called because of the breaking of shop windows owned by Jews in Germany. Many Jews were beaten up and about 30,000 sent to concentration camps. (Of these, 2,000 were dead by Christmas, 1938). There was a stampede to leave Germany.

Most Holocaust historians date the start of the Holocaust from mid 1941 when death squads started to murder large numbers of Jews in mass open air shootings behind the lines on the Russian Front. The Holocaust refers specifically to genocide. This is not to minimize the Kristallnacht, and many see as a prelude to the holocaust.
