More than a thousand synagogues and many thousands of Jewish shops were destroyed while thirty thousand Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. Kristallnacht the Night of Broken Glass was a decisive stage in the systematic eradication of a people who traced their origins in Germany to Roman times and was a sinister forewarning of the Holocaust. With rare insight and acumen Martin Gilbert examines this night and day of terror presenting readers with a meticulously researched masterfully written and eye - opening study of one of the darkest chapters in human history.
