Describes how the strong dislike of Jews that existed in Europe since social Darwinism became popular in the 1870's led eventually to Kristallnacht or "Night of broken glass" in 1938 when Jews throughout Germany and Austria were subjected to brutality and thousands of horrors in a single night.

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.
