The Kristallnach was organized by the Nazis. It was an event in which numerous Jewish homes, schools, hospitals and similar were attacked and ransacked, with numerous people being assaulted, killed, and sometimes even worse.
Kristallnacht was a night of organized vandalism by the Nazi government against Jewish synagogues, businesses, schools, and homes. The attacks led to the arrest of thousands of Jews. Those arrested were taken to concentration camps. Kristallnacht is marked as a turning point from nonviolent targeting of Jews to violence directed at the Jewish people.
