Answer:  "Crystal Night" -- often translated as "Night of Broken Glass." (The "crystal" refers to the broken glass of windows in destroyed businesses and homes and synagogues.)

Context/details:

In November, 1938, there was rampant destruction of Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues and violence against Jewish people.  This occurred on the night of November 9 going on into November 10, 1938, and was called "<em>Kristallnacht,</em>" or "The Night of Broken Glass."   It was public violence by masses of people, not a specific campaign ordered by the Nazi regime. However, Nazi officials did tell police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur.  The next day, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, said that this sort of eruption against the Jews was natural and understandable.  He said:  "It is an intolerable state of affairs that within our borders and for all these years hundreds of thousands of Jews still control whole streets of shops, populate our recreation spots and, as foreign apartment owners, pocket the money of German tenants, while their racial comrades abroad agitate for war against Germany."

In the days after <em>Kristallnacht, </em>the Nazi government said that the Jewish community itself was responsible for all the damage and destruction, and imposed enormous fines against the Jewish community.  They also arrested more than 30,000 Jewish men and sent them to concentration camps which were built to incarcerate Jews and any others that the Nazis perceived to be enemies of the German state.

What was eliminated as a requirement for immigration in the immigration reform act of 1965?
ohaa [14]
The principal reform called for, is the elimination of the national origins quota system and the overview of numeric limits on immigration from the western hemisphere laterally with the strong claim for immigrant workers by the US employers led to rising numbers of unauthorized immigrants in the united states in the decades after 1965 especially in the southwest. Policies in the immigration and control act 1986 that were intended to curtail migration across the mexican united states border ran many unofficial workers to settle lastingly in the united states. The demographic trends developed a central part of anti-immigrant activism from the 1980s prominent to greater border militarization rising hesitation of migrants by the border patrol and a focus media on the theoretical criminality of immigrants.
