Kristallnacht was a planned event that caused loss for many Jew from the Germans. This event was a huge event as many Jews were forced to flee for safety. This event was planned because there was a document sent out to the German soldiers on November 8th 1938 which was sent before the event which happened the next day. This mail stated to destroy things owned by the Jews and take them away and imprisonment, and to seize archives from Synagogues. These archives were later handed over to the SS. The events that happened on November 9-10 were stated on the document to tell soldiers what to do this further shows proff this event was planned. Jews were later taken to concentration camps or deported. The impact the event had on the Jews was huge and this event may have gone and been a reason for the start of World War 2.
