A. The Holocaust Begins

1. The Nuremberg Laws were passed in 1935,
depriving German Jews of their rights. In 1938,
Nazis attacked Jewish homes, businesses, and
synagogues in Kristallnacht (Night of Broken
Glass).

All the things for which my parents had

worked for 18 long years were destroyed in
less than 10 minutes. Piles of valuable
glasses, expensive furniture, linensin short,
everything was destroyed.The Nazis left us,
yelling, Dont try to leave this house! Well
soon be back again and take you to a
concentration camp to be shot.
