From Yad Vashem’s Photo Archives

Pictured here are Jews being led to a synagogue in Berlin, Germany by policemen and SS during Kristallnacht. Berlin, where more than a third of German Jews lived, was especially hard hit. Jewish shops were looted and destroyed and more than 40 synagogues were burned and destroyed. Dozens of Jews were murdered the night of the progrom and 12,000 Jews were arrested.
