“Night of Broken Glass,” (Kristallnacht) occurred Nov 9, 1938. Pretext was a young Jew’s murder of a German diplomat in Paris. Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels ordered “spontaneous demonstrations” during the night. In the next 48 hours in Germany and Austria, 91 people were murdered, nearly 200 synagogues burned, 7,500 Jewish-owned shops damaged or destroyed and 30,000 Jews sent to Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. Other countries neither rebuked Germany for the terror nor loosened their quotas on Jewish immigration. (Nov 9, 1987, hatemongers attacked 10 Jewish-owned businesses and three synagogues in Chicago, then defaced them with swastikas.)
