Explanation
On November 9, 1938, the so-called 'Kristallnacht' occurred, during which Jewish businesses, synagogues, and homes were destroyed by Nazis and their supporters across Germany. This event marked a turning point in the anti-Semitic policies of the Nazi regime, leading to a phase of intensified persecution of the Jewish population that ultimately culminated in the Holocaust. The destruction was not only an act of violence but also a symbol of the systematic discrimination and disenfranchisement of Jews in Germany.
