  • Kristallnacht and Living in Nazi Germany

    Ann Byers

    Hardcover (Rosen Publishing Group, Aug. 1, 2014)
    Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass," was an event that was one of thousands of horrors inflicted on Jews throughout Germany and Austria in a single night and day, November 9-10, 1938. The Nazis destroyed Jewish businesses, synagogues, and personal property and killed nearly one hundred people. Although not the first instance of violence against Jews, it was the beginning of a campaign of savagery unequalled in modern history. This gripping narrative examines German anti-Semitism, the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler, the persecution of Jews, and the spark that began the blaze of the Holocaust.
