Kristallnacht

On the nights of November 9th and 10th 1938, Nazi gangs attacked a Jewish villages. They burnt down the homes, shops and businesses of innocent Jews and left nothing behind but shattered glass everywhere. This night is known all around the world as Kristallnacht. The name Kristall meaning crystal and nacht meaning night. There were more than 270 synagogues, 70 businesses and thousands of homes were burned to the ground. Hundreds of people were killed. Yet, few Germans had the courage to speak out against the Nazi’s, who were ruthlessly destroying everything and everyone that came in their path. The strange thing was the Nazi's weren't charged for any damaged they had caused. There was no turning point for Kristallnacht.
