"Nazi Shooting Spurs Jewish Persecution" The article carries over to page 2.
This was a deliberate persecution of the Jews of Germany on November 9 and 10, carried out by paramilitary forces. German authorities looked on without intervening. The catalyst for the carnage was the assassination of German envoy Ernst vom Rath in Paris by a Polish Jew.
