On November 9–10, 1938, the Nazi regime instigated mass violence throughout Germany targeting Jews, Jewish-owned businesses, Jewish homes, and synagogues. Also known as the “Night of Broken Glass,” the attacks claimed the lives of dozens of Jews. Tens of thousands of Jewish men were arrested and many more were beaten and physically abused.
