The term Night of Broken Glass (German: Kristallnacht) came into being following a pogrom (concerted attack against Jews, Jewish homes and Jewish businesses) on 9-10 November 1938. Following the assassination of Nazi Ernst Vom Rath by Jewish Herschel Grynzspan, the Hitler Youth, SS, Gestapo and supportive citizens carried out the attacks which left 91 Jews dead, 267 synagogues destroyed and saw 25,000 to 30,000 Jews arrested and placed in concentration camps (they were released after three months, but 2000 died while incarcerated). Countless Jewish homes and businesses were ransacked and so many windows shattered that broken glass lay in piles in the streets - hence the name.

How do you replace broken glass in Anderson casement?
Contrary to every posting I have found, late model Andersen Casement windows are quite easy to remove the glass. Pry out the outside trim. Be careful as it will need to be reused, a tiny screwdriver works well. It comes out in 4 pieces. Using one of the cheapo snap off utility knives, a buck at the hardware store, extended all the way out carefully cut the adhesive between the inside surface of the glass and the frame. It takes time, the corners come last, they will be tight. Wear safety glasses. Eventually the glass will start to come free, continue to slide the knife to cut remaining adhesive. The window glass is the only thing holding the frame square, pick up the outside corner to get the glass to fall out. You may need to support it o shut it to reglue new glass
