{"Image DocumentName": "Kristallnacht", "Image ImageDescription": "Nazis smash, loot, and burn Jewish shops and temples, screamed the headline on the front page of The New York Times on November 11, Kristallnacht- Night of Broken Glass took place on November 9 and 10, 1938 in Austria and Germany. The night was filled with a mass frenzy of destruction, wrote one historian. The destruction of Jewish-owned property may have seemed like random acts of vandalism. It wasn\u2019t. During Kristallnacht, synagogues were set on fire or destroyed completely. Mobs attacked Jewish shops and homes, smashing windows and looting contents. Jews were taunted, beaten, humiliated in the streets and in their homes. Many Jewish people died. Kristallnacht was used as an excuse to round up Jews who have been singled out for arrest earlier. More than 30,000 were taken to concentration camps at Dachau, Buchenwald, and Sachsenhausen. The arrest lists had been drawn up in advance. The camps had been made larger in preparation.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
