On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi leadership unleashed an unprecedented orchestrated wave of violence against Jews in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland, supposedly in response to the assassination of a Nazi diplomat by a young Polish Jew, but in reality to force the remaining Jews out of the country. During the pogrom, Stormtroopers, Hitler Youth, and ordinary Germans murdered more than a hundred Jews (many more committed suicide) and ransacked and destroyed thousands of Jewish institutions, synagogues, shops, and homes. Thirty thousand Jews were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps.

Volume 17 of the Casden Annual Review includes a series of articles presented at an international conference titled “New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison.” Assessing events 80 years after the violent anti-Jewish pogrom of 1938, contributors to this volume offer new cutting-edge scholarship on the event and its repercussions. Contributors include scholars from the United States, Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom who represent a wide variety of disciplines, including history, political science, and Jewish and media studies. Their essays discuss reactions to the pogrom by victims and witnesses inside Nazi Germany as well as by foreign journalists, diplomats, Jewish organizations, and Jewish print media. Several contributors to the volume analyze postwar narratives of and global comparisons to Kristallnacht, with the aim of situating this anti-Jewish pogrom in its historical context, as well as its place in world history.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thoroughly documented and accompanied by substantial bibliographies, the contributions will prove useful to scholars and students of the Holocaust, memory studies, and comparative genocide. The editors and authors are to be congratulated on a well-executed and important book that both deepens and broadens our understanding of one of the central events in the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust." —Holocaust and Genocide Studies

"This volume brings together a range of new and thought-provoking scholarly perspectives on the state-organized anti-Jewish violence of 9/10 November 1938 in Germany. While the violence, commonly known as Kristallnacht, is generally viewed 'as one of the most well researched events in the history of the Third Reich' (xi), this anthology expands our view and shifts the scholarly agenda by opening new perspectives. Overall, the volume can be wholeheartedly commended for an audience of academic peers who will glean a snapshot of the current state of the field, and for an audience of postgraduate students needing to familiarize themselves with classics in the field and finding ample suggestions for their own research projects." —Holocaust Studies

Compare: Wilmington NC, November 1898. Compare: Tulsa OK, 1921. Compare: Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, George Wallace… The ones who ‘worked’ to preserve the ‘purity’ of white peoples’ environment. And then? There is a Fuentes…he praises Hitler. And a West.. called ‘Ye’. Them? West… he praises Hitler, but the George Wallaces treated that color of ‘Ye’, that human, all of them, like an animal.
But the Jewish and other faiths’ peoples marched for equality, for those the color of Ye. Small mind, thrives, exists, only to get attention to himself, that he is important.
