On the nights of November 9 and 10, 1938, rampaging mobs throughout
Germany and the newly acquired territories of Austria and
Sudetenland freely attacked Jews in the street, in their homes and
at their places of work and worship. At least 96 Jews were killed
and hundreds more injured, as many as 2,000 synagogues were burned,
almost 7,500 Jewish businesses were destroyed, cemeteries and
schools were vandalized, and 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to
concentration camps. This pogrom has come to be called
"Kristallnacht," "the Night of Broken Glass."
Although numerous anti-Jewish regulations had been adopted prior to
Kristallnacht, these measures had only imposed restrictions on
German Jews' economic activity and occupational opportunities.
Prior to Kristallnacht, the Jews had little reason to believe their
physical safety was at risk. That all changed 70 years ago this
coming November. The events of that night were the beginning of the
Holocaust.
It is fitting that a book record the events of this seminal
historical event on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of
Kristallnacht. This book provides an account of the incidents
immediately preceding the attacks on November 9-10, an oral history
that provides a minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour account of what
happened during the pogroms, and an analysis of the immediate
aftermath and why the Holocaust can be dated from this evening.
