Options
- 1925

Explanation
In November 1938 the Nazis organized the pogrom called Kristallnacht ("Night of Broken Glass"), destroying hundreds of synagogues and thousands of Jewish shops. The year 1938 therefore marks an escalation from discrimination to open, state-directed violence against Jews, foreshadowing the Holocaust.
