Kristallnacht, also known as the "night of broken glass", was a pogrom (or series of attacks) on Jews in Austria. German authorities stood by and watched this happen and did not intervene. Over 1000 synagogues were burned as well as stores, homes, and other buildings. 91 Jews were killed and 30,000 arrested and taken to concentration camps. Not only were their lively-hood and family taken, so were their rights. The times wrote at the time, "No foreign propagandist bent upon blackening Germany before the world could outdo the tale of burning's and beatings, of blackguardly assaults on defenseless and innocent people, which disgraced that country yesterday."
