November 11, 1938

THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 11, 1938 

* Crystal Night (Kristallnacht)
* Night of Broken Glass - Persecution of Jews
* Jewish holocaust in it's infancy


This is a very significant issue in Judaica history and the story of the Holocaust. The front page has a three column headline concerning the attacks on Jewish folks in Germany known as Kristallnacht: "NAZIS SMASH, LOOT AND BURN JEWISH SHOPS AND TEMPLES UNTIL GOEBBELS CALLS HALT" with subheads. (see) Early coverage continues inside with two related photos. Loads of text.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 30 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
