Pictured here is a German storm trooper standing in the Ohel Yaakov synagogue in Munich, Germany following Kristallnacht. Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels delivered a virulent anti-Semitic speech in Munich that sparked the Kristallnacht riots throughout Germany. Store windows in Munich were smashed, the interior of the Ohel Yaakov synagogue was destroyed along with other communal property, and around 1,000 Jews were arrested.
