Jewish students celebrate the "Night of Broken Glass"


Jewish students in Berlin commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) when the Nazis terrorized Jews all over Germany.
Some 30 students from the Jewish school lit up candles and set up Wednesday prayers, where the chief rabbi, Yehuda Taichtal, urged them to help overcome Germany's past by building a secure future for Jews in the country.

The "Crystal Nacht" was a decisive moment leading to the Holocaust.

On that day, November 9, 1938, the Nazis killed at least 91 Jews, burned hundreds of synagogues and arrested some 30,000 Jews who were later transferred to concentration camps.

"The answer to the evil of the past is to educate people for the future," the rabbi told the students.
