The night of broken glass : eyewitness accounts of Kristallnacht

Uta Gerhardt (Editor), Thomas Karlauf (Editor), Robert Simmons (Translator), Nick Somers (Translator), Edward Hartshorne
"In 1939 the Harvard sociologist Edward Hartshorne gathered eyewitness accounts of what became known as 'Kristallnacht' from hundreds of Jews who had fled, but Hartshorne joined the Secret Service shortly afterwards and the accounts he gathered were forgotten - until now. These eyewitness testimonies - published here for the first time, with a foreword by Saul Friedländer, the Pulitzer Prize historian and Holocaust survivor - paint a harrowing picture of everyday violence in one of Europe's darkest moments."--Jacket
