THIS DAY IN HISTORY
-1938-Nazis launch Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass, a night that would foreshadow the Holocaust. Countless smashed windows of Jewish-owned establishments left approximately 100 Jews dead, 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged and hundreds of synagogues, homes, schools and graveyards vandalized. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were then sent to concentration camps for several months; they were released when they promised to leave Germany. Kristallnacht represented a dramatic escalation of campaign started by Adolf Hitler in 1933 when he became chancellor to purge Germany of its Jewish population.  Over 100,000 Jews fled Germany for other countries after Kristallnacht

-1989- East German officials open the Berlin Wall allowing travel from East to West Berlin. The following day, celebrating Germans began to tear the wall down. One of the ugliest and most infamous symbols of the Cold War was soon reduced to rubble.
