Summary
Raul Hilberg, a political scientist and historian, speaks about Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, that was an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany on November 9-10, 1938. He describes the historical, economic, political, and social preconditions of this pogrom during which 30,000 German Jews were arrested and deported to concentration camps, more than 200 synagogues were destroyed, and thousands of homes and businesses were ransacked. He explains how Kristallnacht became a part of a broader Nazi policy of antisemitism and persecution of the Jews, and led finally to the Holocaust. At the end of the lecture Hilberg answers the questions from the audience. The lecture is introduced by Leonard Gold, chief librarian of the New York Public Library's Jewish Division at the time.
