Germany: Members of the SA (Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts) in front of a Jewish shop on April 1,1933. The sign says: 'Germans, Attention! This shop is owned by Jews. Jews damage the German economy and pay their German employees starvation wages. The main owner is the Jew Nathan Schmidt'
Caption:
Kristallnacht or 'Crystal Night', also referred to as the Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and Austria that took place on 910 November 1938, carried out by SA (Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts) paramilitary forces and German civilians.
. German authorities looked on without intervening. The name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues had their windows smashed.
