Kristallnacht

"The streets were completely covered in broken glass"

"All you could do was pray they didn't pick on you"

"We had nothing left"

Sledge hammers, axes, knifes and guns, wearing uniforms.

"We all just stood in shock"

"My home was burnt down, i had nothing left"

"Everything we owned was broken into pieces"
