Glass shatters easily. Just like the hearts, souls, and lives of so many people who were subjected to one of the most awful crimes against humanity. One of the horrific events involving the Jews prior to the beginning of the Holocaust happened in the fall of 1938. This event was known as Kristallnacht, which translates into “The Night of Broken Glass” and was carried out as the result of the killing of Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan for the forced deportation of his parents and thousands of other Polish Jews living in Germany at the time. The Nazi Party ordered attacks on Jewish communities throughout the country. During Kristallnacht, as the night came to be known, Jews in Germany, whether citizens or not, were targeted and attacked.
Kristallnacht was also referred to as “the night of the broken glass” because of all the broken windows from the Jewish houses and shops. In “Night”, Kristallnacht was described as a night of anti-Jewish riots. During this time Jewish homes were robbed, synagogues burned, Jewish businesses destroyed, and many Jews were, arrested, tortured, beaten, or killed. A tax was then imposed by the government on the Jews. They were being forced to pay for Kristallnacht property damage.
The events which happened between the 9th and 10th November are known as Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht is known more commonly as night of broken glass, which describes what happened best, with Jewish shops and synagogues all over Germany and Austria in the big cities and small towns were looted, vandalised or burnt down.
We have been given a multitude of chances to take the lessons of our ancestors in stride and better ourselves from their experiences, but instead we choose to neglect our lessons and relapse into a society fueled by hatred. The act of dehumanization has been an ongoing reoccurrence throughout our tarnished history. It may change, and evolve into new levels of hatred. It has no bias; it will choose its victims between race, sex, social levels and many other faucets that most of us are born into. In short, the historical lessons of this course have taught me that if we wish to provide a better future for not only our generation but also the generations that are to follow us, then we must change the way that we treat others who are different than us. The best way we can achieve this goal is to learn from the lessons that have been so prevalent throughout our
November 9th, 1938: The precursor to the Holocaust or the start of it itself? In either case, by November 11th––with thousands of Jewish stores looted and/ or destroyed, several hundred synagogues burned down, and houses vandalized and robbed––the appearance of war had seemingly passed through Central Germany. Kristallnacht, otherwise known as the “Night of Broken Glass”, was one the events that most likely struck fear into all the hearts and minds of the Jewish family's within Hitler's Third Reich. The atrocities committed against a whole population within a region were all caused by one young man's actions, which shows how ruthless yet organized the Nazi regime truly was. Oppressing Jews was the Nazi's way of showing Germany who was in control and those against it would be silenced in one way or another.
