In the early hours of November 10; 1938; Nazi storm troopers and Hitler Youth rampaged through Jewish neighborhoods across Germany; leaving behind them a horrifying trail of terror and destruction. More than a thousand synagogues and many thousands of Jewish shops were destroyed; while thirty thousand Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass—was a decisive stage in the systematic eradication of a people who traced their origins in Germany to Roman times and was a sinister forewarning of the Holocaust.With rare insight and acumen; Martin Gilbert examines this night and day of terror; presenting readers with a meticulously researched; masterfully written; and eye-opening study of one of the darkest chapters in human history.
