Ransack Attack


Kristallnacht was started by the Nazis and all of the others associated with them destroyed thousands of buildings and shops and stores.Hitler was the main leader of the Nazis and of Germany,and was also the man that started Kristallnacht and the Holocaust.Hitler hired Joseph Goebbels,he was made the Minister of Propaganda and second in command,right behind Hitler.There was also many other groups that were involved in the event of Kristallnacht.One of the types of groups that were involved in Kristallnacht were the Jews because they were the  ones that were being treated like this and attacked by the Nazis.Another group that was involved in Kristallnacht was Germany because they were the ones that were being given the speech that tried to turn them against the Jews and were also the ones that helped the Nazis destroy buildings.Another group that was involved in Kristallnacht was the Gustapo,it was a group organization created by Hitler and Goebbels to take responsibility for all war actions.


Kristallnacht was the "Night of Broken Glass,"it was called that because of all of the shop windows that were broken that night.It was also called Pogromnacht(which,translated means night of attacks or series of attacks),Reichskristallnacht(which is night of Reichstag,I think),and also Novemberpogrome(which is the series of attacks in November).Kristallnacht was the starting of all events leading to and in the Holocaust and the Final Solution.It was a speech that was given to Goebbels as a job from Hitler to try to turn all of Germany against the Jews,and later turn into boycotting,and then turned into a night of destruction to all of the buildings and shops that were owned by the Jews.Kristallnacht was also a way to get back at the Jews for when Grynspanz killed Ernst von Rath,who was an important leader in the German and Nazi society.


Kristallnacht is a pretty hard topic to explain where exactly it happened,but ,if I had to say something,I would say that it was spread out all through Germany,I would say that because that is where the speech was given to all of the people by Goebbels.It was spread out into all of Nazi Germany,It probably happened in places like Poland,and maybe even France.Kristallnact must have happened in the middle parts of cities and towns,which is where all of the stores and businesses are located.Another place where Kristallnacht had happened was in Vienna,which was one of the main places,it was one of the many places where many synagogues and churches were being ransacked,burned and destroyed.


Kristallnacht occurred/happened on November ninth and tenth,1938,it had happened before and led to the Holocaust and the Final Solution.Kristallnacht also happened right after the killing of Ernst von Rath,and because of Hitler gaining power of Germany and all of the Nazi political party.He was the most powerful person in all of Germany.But Kristallnacht had also happened after WWI and before WWII.


Kristallnacht was started because of some very unusual reason,that reason being that the Jews were being boycotted by all of Germany,it mainly happened because of the killing of Ernst von Rath,and because of Goebbels coming up with the speech that turned all of Germany against the Jews.


                                                                  

 Joeseph Goebbels(On the right)was the reason that the Holocaust and Kristallnacht was started(other than the fact that Hitler was the reason he was was part of the Nazi party),but he still did all of the speeches to Germany
