In 1935, Anti-Semitic laws were put into effect, taking away all remaining Jewish rights.
As time went on, it became increasingly difficult for the Jews to live freely. Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, was a night of chaos. Jewish homes and shops were broken into, looted, and destroyed. Synagogues had their windows smashed with hammers and axes, and many were burned to the ground. Jews were chased down streets and beaten or shot. About 91 Jews were killed, more than 31,000 arrested. Even after Kristallnacht, stores belonging to Jews were marked with the Jewish star and "Jude." Jews were then sent to live in ghettos, to later be deported to concentration camps.
