Yesterday, we explored twenty-eight concepts that pertained to the Jewish Holocaust, and as a class, we constructed a dictionary of terms. 

Which of these twenty-eight entries were you most surprised that you had not heard of before? ...the least? [If you were not surprised, then write about the one you would like to find out more about.] Include the description of the concept [or definition] and your thoughts/feelings.

This entry may be one longer paragraph [at least 7-8 sentences].

Out of all the entries we researched in class, the one that I had not heard about before was the Kristallnacht. I thought it was surprising that I never heard about that. It is also known as the night of broken glass, but I had not heard of that either. All I know is that when the Nazis destroyed all Jewish stores and homes by breaking the glass in the windows and doors. I would like to learn more about this because it is a cruel thing to do. Also, I found it really interesting and want to research it more. I'd like to know where it started, why they did it and when. The thing that bothers me the most is that the Nazis would stoop so low to bothering the Jews by destroying their stores.
