Historical Context

The Kristallnacht pogrom on November 9-10, 1938, marked a significant escalation in Nazi Germany's anti-Jewish violence, resulting in the destruction of over 7,500 Jewish businesses and synagogues and the arrest of 30,000 Jews. This event foreshadowed the Holocaust, where approximately six million Jews were murdered. Recent attacks on synagogues in Toronto reflect ongoing anti-Semitic sentiments, emphasizing the need for vigilance against hate.
