Pogromnacht (auch: Kristallnacht)
Am 9. und 10. November 1938 lösten die Nationalsozialisten eine Serie von Pogromen gegen die jüdische Bevölkerung aus. Diese fanden sowohl in Deutschland als auch in den kurz zuvor angegliederten Gebieten statt. In Anlehnung an die Glasscherben, die infolge des Vandalismus und der Zerstörung jüdischer Geschäfte, Synagogen und Häuser die Straßen übersäten, wurde dieses Ereignis als „Kristallnacht“ bezeichnet. Heute wird eher die Bezeichnung Pogromnacht verwendet.
