Nazi pogroms target Jewish communities across Germany and Austria

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 9 November 1938 📍 Duitsland, Oostenrijk

A state-orchestrated pogrom on the night of 9-10 November destroyed synagogues, shops, homes, and community institutions; Jewish people were murdered and tens of thousands arrested and sent to concentration camps. The violence followed years of exclusion and dispossession. The name Kristallnacht can obscure the human violence, so this record describes it as a pogrom and foregrounds its victims and organized perpetrators.
