November 9 marks a significant date in Germany’s remembrance culture. The November pogroms which took place on November 9, 1938 are also among the most significant turning points in German history. On the occasion of the 85th commemoration day, the historian Dr. Johannes Schütz explains why we remember November 9, 1938 in our "Quick Question".
The video explains the developments that led to the November pogroms and how National Socialist state ideology paved the way for the nationwide violence against Jews as well as their businesses and synagogues. Dr. Johannes Schütz from TU Dresden's Institute of History takes a look at the events in Dresden, where not only the Old Semper Synagogue was set on fire in the night from November 9 to 10, 1938.
