Conclusion

This was an attempt to destroy/ wipe-out Jewish places of worship and their property and business. It was an anti-Jewish riot which caused maximum damage and destruction to Jews, it was extremely violent and many Jews were injured and killed.

Overall, discrimination against Jews increased from the 1933's to 1939. The main way in which they were discriminated was the Nuremberg law.
