On November 9, a young Jew, seeking revenge for the deportation of his parents, murdered a German diplomat in Paris. Hitler learned of the assassination on November 9, while he was in Munich for the anniversary of the putsch of 1923. The party and the SA then were ordered çspontaneouslyé to express the people outrage at this against the Jews. Most synagogues were set on fire and Jewish shop and property was destroyed. About 20,000-30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concen- tration camp in Poland. Kristallnacht was the most public violent display of anti-Semitism seen in German history. It also proved to be a significant turning point on the road to Holocaust. Key words : pogrom, anti-Semitism, Holocaust
