Nazis imposed other restrictions that forced Jews from their jobs and
Holocaust homes and embarked on escalating violence and terror against Jews.
Auschwitz Schools and the Hitler Youth Movement taught children that Jews
were “polluting” German society and culture.
Anti-Semitic propaganda triggered one of the most violent early
attacks on Jews. In November 1938, Nazi-led mobs smashed windows,
looted, and destroyed Jewish homes, businesses, and places of
worship. This wave of violence in Germany and Austria became
known as Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass.
