	THHP Short Essay: What Was Kristallnacht? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kristallnacht was a nationwide, state-sponsored pogrom (a spree of violence directed against Jews) conducted throughout Germany and Austria (which had been annexed by Germany in March 1938) from the evening and night of November 9 through the following afternoon.
		It was presented by the Nazi regime as a spontaneous public outburst provoked by the assassination of a minor German diplomat in Paris, Ernst vom Rath, by a seventeen-year-old Polish Jew, Herschel Grynszpan.
		The significance of Kristallnacht lay in the reaction of the Nazi regime to intense and vocal criticism from abroad, which reacted to the pogrom with horror and condemnation.

		Vom Rath's death was to become an excuse for the pogrom of Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass) that began on Nov. 9.
		In Kristallnacht: Prelude to Destruction, Martin Gilbert cogently argues that the wave of killing, burning and looting orchestrated by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda chief, was a pivotal moment in the fate of the Jews of Germany and an escalation that marked the transition from repression and professional and social ostracism to systematic and violent persecution.
		Kristallnacht provided a grim harbinger, with hundreds of Jews killed and 30,000 rounded up and sent to concentration camps where 2,000 would die.

		The intent of this meeting was two-fold: to make the Jews responsible for Kristallnacht and to use the events of the preceding days as a rationale for promulgating a series of antisemitic laws which would, in effect, remove Jews from the German economy.
		Kristallnacht turns out to be a crucial turning point in German policy regarding the Jews and may be considered as the actual beginning of what is now called the Holocaust.
		So, it appears, the term "Kristallnacht" or "Crystal Night" was invented by Nazis to mock Jews on that fl November night in 1938.

	Kristallnacht: the Exploitation of Nazi Anti-Semitism
		Kristallnacht was induced by the assassination of the secretary of the German embassy, Ernst vom Rath, by the hands of a Jew named Herschel Grynszpan.
		The reasons for Kristallnacht occurring can be seen in these policies in the form of numerous anti-Semitic laws that were inspired by the Nazi party's beliefs.
		Kristallnacht was seen by the Nazi's as an affective way to implement their policies towards Jews and can be viewed as a foreshadowing of the Nazi's shift to the physical annihilation of the Jews from Germany which would to this day, shape the fate of the rest of the world.
