the #geth anniversary of ,kristallnacht1
 or the ,night of ,broken ,glass4       
,whereas ,november #i1 #bjac1 through   
,november #aj1 #bjac1 marks the #geth   
anniversary of ,kristallnacht1 or the   
,night of ,broken ,glass2 ,whereas      
,kristallnacht began as a pogrom        
authorized by ,nazi party officials and 
carried out by members of the           
,sturmabteilungen 7,,sa71 ,schutzstaffel
 7,,ss71 and ,hitler ,youth1 marking the
 ,nazi party's first large-scale        
anti-,semitic operation and a crucial   
turning point in ,nazi anti-,semitic    
policy2 ,whereas1 during ,kristallnacht1

 synagogues1 homes1 and businesses in   
,jewish communities were attacked1      
resulting in murders and arrests of     
,jewish people in ,germany and in       
,austrian and ,czechoslovakian          
territories controlled by the ,nazis2   
,whereas the events of ,kristallnacht   
resulted in the burning and destruction 
of #bfg synagogues1 the looting of      
thousands of businesses and homes1 the  
desecration of ,jewish cemeteries1 the  
murder of #ia ,jews1 and the arrest and 
deportation of #cj1jjj ,jewish men to   
concentration camps2 ,whereas the shards
 of broken glass from the windows of    
synagogues1 ,jewish homes1 and          
,jewish-owned businesses ransacked      
during the violence that littered the   
streets gave the pogrom its name3       
,kristallnacht1 commonly translated as  
the ,night of ,broken ,glass2 ,whereas  
,kristallnacht proved to be a crucial   
turning point in the ,holocaust1 marking
 a shift from a policy of removing ,jews
 from ,germany and ,german-occupied     

lands to murdering millions of people1  
and was a tragic precursor to the       
,second ,world ,war2 ,whereas1 despite  
numerous global efforts to eradicate    
hate1 manifestations of anti-,semitism  
and other forms of intolerance continue 
to harm our societies on a global scale2
 and ,whereas ,kristallnacht teaches us 
how hate can proliferate and erode our  
societies and serves as a reminder that 
we must advance global efforts to ensure
 such barbarism and mass murder never   
occur again3 ,now1 therefore1 be it     
,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 recognizes the 
#geth anniversary of ,kristallnacht2    
7#b7 pays tribute to the over #f1jjj1jjj
 ,jewish people killed during the       
,holocaust and the families affected by 
the tragedy2  7#c7 continues to support 
,united ,states efforts to address the  
horrible legacy of the ,holocaust and   
combat manifestations of anti-,semitism 
domestically and globally2  7#d7 will   
continue to raise awareness and act to  
eradicate the continuing scourge of     

anti-,semitism at home and abroad1      
including through work with             
international partners such as the      
,organization for ,security and         
,cooperation in ,europe's ,personal     
,representative on ,combating           
,anti-,semitism and ,tolerance and      
,non-,discrimination ,unit2 and  7#e7
