British Jews protest against immigration restrictions to Palestine after Kristallnacht. Kristallnacht was a nationwide pogrom that was organised and carried out by the nazi Party on the 9th November 1938. Shops and synagogues were destroyed and people humiliated and beaten while the police looked on, or even helped. Though the amount of damage and the number of people attacked was quite small, the fact that it was completely unopposed showed the Nazis that they could really start in on the Jews and, as such, is one of the major milestones on the way to The Holocaust.
