    Night of The Broken Glass. I was wondering if a movie existed where it shows the build up, why that night, and so on. Kind of seem like it would be a great 3 act movie kind of like the Pianist.

      It’s the culmination of a nazi politics to disown jews and was part of a longer campaign of violence against minorities in general. there was no real inciting incident for it.

      e: don’t know about the english speaking world, but in germany calling it “kristallnacht” or “night of broken glass” is atleast in bad taste. people were killed and hunted in the streets, a better term would be “Reichspogromnacht”.
