SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, Nov.  11, 1938 

* Crystal Night (Kristallnacht)
* Night of Broken Glass - Persecution of Jews


The ftpg. has a 2 column headline announcing a follow-up to what became known as Kristallnacht, the "night of broken glass".  
"Germany Goes Berserk in Orgy Of Jew-Baiting". The article begins: "Germany presented to the world yesterday the spectacle of a nation gone mad with sadistic delight & fury. Nothing like the violence of the anti-Jewish riots now slowly dying down has been experienced in our century except in time of revolution or civil war. An estimated 10,000 shops & other business establishments have been wholly or partly wrecked..." with much more. The article carries over to page 2.
This was part of the persecution of the Jews of Germany in vengeance for the assassination of German envoy Ernst vom Rath in Paris by a Polish Jew.
Complete in 28 pages, small binding holes at the blank spine, an old mend at the right margin, nice condition.
