Kristallnacht



Kristallnacht

Kristallnacht, also known as Night of the Broken glass, got its name because of all the broken windows of Jewish shops. Practically everyone of the synagogues was destroyed. Thousands of Jews were arrested by Nazis and were sent off to concentration camps. Surprisingly, in the end, the Jews were forced to pay for the damages from that night.
