This event is part of a weeklong series at Saint Mary's College to reflect on Kristallnacht and the Holocaust—why it matters today and how to prevent genocide and structural violence in our world. Also known as the Night of the Broken Glass, Kristallnacht occurred on Nov. 9-10, 1938 in Nazi Germany and marked the beginning of the Holocaust. On Nov. 9 of that year the Third Reich destroyed more than 200 synagogues and several thousand Jewish homes and businesses. Historians estimate that between 20,000-30,000 Jews were arrested and deported to concentration camps during the attack. Click to read about related events. Click for a campus map.
