Also known as the ‘Night of Broken Glass’, Kristallnacht occurred throughout Nazi Germany from the 9th-10th of November 1938, and was a set of coordinated attacks by the SA and civilians against Jewish people and their property. Synagogues were burnt down and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed. The attacks were carried out in response to the assassination of Ernst von Rath, a member of the German embassy in Paris.
