Today marks Kristallnacht, “Night of the Broken Glass.”

On November 9, 1938, violent Nazi-instigated riots against Jews broke out across Germany and Austria. At least 96 Jews were murdered, and hundreds more injured. Thousands of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were destroyed. The name Kristallnacht refers to the shattered glass that lined the streets of cities in Germany and Austria, a prelude to the Holocaust.
