Explanation

In 1938, during the so-called Night of Broken Glass (Reichskristallnacht), there were massive attacks on Jewish institutions in Germany. These events marked a turning point in the Nazi regime's anti-Semitic policies, leading to the systematic persecution and discrimination of the Jewish population. The destruction of synagogues and businesses was an expression of state-sponsored hatred and violence against Jews, which culminated in the Holocaust in the following years.
