On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi leadership unleashed an
unprecedented orchestrated wave of violence against Jews in Germany, Austria,
and the Sudetenland, supposedly in response to the assassination of a Nazi
diplomat by a young Polish Jew, but in reality to force the remaining Jews out of
the country. During the pogrom, Stormtroopers, Hitler Youth, and ordinary
Germans murdered more than a hundred Jews (many more committed suicide) and
ransacked and destroyed thousands of Jewish institutions, synagogues, shops,
and homes. Thirty thousand Jews were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration
camps.
Volume 17 of the Casden Annual Review includes a series of articles presented at an international
conference titled "New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom
in Global Comparison." Assessing events 80 years after the violent anti-Jewish pogrom
of 1938, contributors to this volume offer new cutting-edge scholarship on the
event and its repercussions. Contributors include scholars from the United
States, Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom who represent a wide variety of
disciplines, including history, political science, and Jewish and media studies.
Their essays discuss reactions to the pogrom by victims and witnesses inside
Nazi Germany as well as by foreign journalists, diplomats, Jewish organizations,
and Jewish print media. Several contributors to the volume analyze postwar
narratives of and global comparisons to Kristallnacht, with the aim of
situating this anti-Jewish pogrom in its historical context, as well as its
place in world history.
