Today is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. It happened in Germany in 1938 -- a night of terrible violence against Jews. Stormtroopers, along with ordinary citizens, destroyed homes and synagogues. And 30,000 Jewish men were taken to concentration camps. Kristallnacht is often referred to as "the beginning of the Holocaust." On the anniversary of this turning point in history, Cynthia Berger brings you this story of Kristallnacht, from someone who was there.
