Kristlnacht

Kristallnacht         Kristallnacht, or night of broken glass, was virtually the get-go of the German plight against European Jews. It was prompted by the actions of star man, Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year old Polish-German Jew, who walked into the German Embassy in Paris and shot third base Secretary, Ernst vom Rath on November 7, 1938. News of Raths death on reached Adolf Hitler in Munich on November 9th, where he was celebrating the anniversary of his abortive 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. There, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, by and by conferring with Hitler, harangued the gathering of old Storm Troopers, urging violent reprisals to be staged to appear as spontaneous demonstrations. Telephone orders from Munich triggered pogroms passim Germany and Austria.

The toll of the nights violence included ninety-one Jews killed, hundreds seriously injured, and thousands more than humiliated and terrorized. Almost eight thousand Jewish businesses were gutted and an estimated one hundred-seventy synagogues were burned or otherwise demolished. Police were ordered not to interfere. Moreover, on orders from Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Sicherheitspolizei, the Gestapo arrested thirty thousand wealthy Jews, who were to be released only on condition of emigration and surrender of their wealth. indoors a week, Interior Minister Hermann Goring ordered some(prenominal) further repressive actions against Jews, including an indemnity of one billion attach and a prohibition against Jewish use of public parks. damages payments to owners of wrecked businesses were confiscated by the state.



Kristallnacht and its aftermath marked a major escalation in the Nazi program of Jewish persecution, and imminently the showtime of the Holocaust.

My question with this brief summary is: Why didnt more Jews ask flight from these areas after having this assailment bestowed upon them? 1.         Perhaps the Jewish mass were not aware of the total damage done during this night.

2.         Perhaps these people did not imagine the extent to which they would be battered in the upcoming years, and underestimated Hitlers intent on doing them harm.
