[2] Its content included essays, articles, stories, poems, and book reviews, mostly by German-Jewish intellectuals. [2] [3] The content covered a diverse range of topics including philosophy, history, psychology, religion, and politics. [2] Until 1933, when heavy government censorship was instituted, articles in Der Morgen often addressed Nazi ideology and antisemitism. [2] In November 1938, all Jewish publications were liquidated by the Nazi government and Der Morgen ceased publication. [2]
Kristallnacht (German pronunciation:[kʁɪsˈtalnaχt]lit. 'crystal night') or the Night of Broken Glass, also called the November pogrom(s) (German: Novemberpogrome, pronounced[noˈvɛm.bɐ.poˌɡʁoːmə] ), was a pogrom against Jews carried out by the Nazi Party's Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary forces along with some participation from the Hitler Youth and German civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938. The German authorities looked on without intervening. The euphemistic name Kristallnacht comes from the shards of broken glass that littered the streets after the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues were smashed. The pretext for the attacks was the assassination of the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year-old German-born Polish Jew living in Paris.
