On 9 November 1938 the November pogroms began: National Socialists and their supporters destroyed synagogues and Jewish shops, and many Jews were mistreated, arrested or murdered. The Second World War only began in 1939 with the attack on Poland. Memory aid: 9 November is a fateful day in German history – the pogroms in 1938, the fall of the Wall in 1989.
