On the night of 9 to 10 November 1938 the Nazis set 267 synagogues on fire in Germany. Thousands of Jews-owned shops and homes were destroyed leaving the streets invaded by glass from broken windows; 92 Jews were killed and some other 30,000 arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps. This violent event is remembered by history as Kristallnacht.

This year, the Central Jewish Board (CJO) organized Kristallnacht Commemoration a day earlier than usual, since the event would have fallen during the Sabbath (Friday before sunset until the Saturday after sunset).
