Description

Kristallnacht revealed to the world the intent and extent of Nazi Judeophobia. However, it was seen essentially as the work of the Nazi leadership. Now, Steinweis counters that view in his vision of Kristallnacht as a veritable pogrom—a popular convulsion of anti-Semitic violence manipulated from above but executed from below by ordinary Germans.
