Kristallnacht’s 75th Anniversary Marked with Ceremonies

On 9th and 10th November, 1938, a series of coordinated attacks took place in Nazi Germany and Austria against Jews. The act, which has been termed as Kristallnacht, had taken the lives of a number of people.

Not only killed, but so many were burnt and others were arrested. Jewish hospital, offices and buildings were ransacked. Buildings were attacked and destroyed and during this act, glasses of buildings broke down. Since then, the incident is also termed as Night of Broken Glass.

The event, which was carried out by SA paramilitary forces and non-Jewish people, took place for continuous two days and German authorities did not intervene.

This year marked the 75th anniversary of the pogrom. It has been found that a number of ceremonies were organized in Berlin, Vienna and in other areas during this weekend. Some of the events reflected incidents that had taken at that time.

There was an art show as well that depicted how Nazis carried out the looting and shootings. Main thing is survivors of those incidents are dying. It is important to impart justice. "Time goes by, it's clear. It's not like it was a few years ago. You have to consider that the survivors are dying out", said Beate Klarsfeld, one of the persons who has been working hard to get justice with regard to the incident.
