EDITORIAL LEARNING AID
Why is this answer correct?
During the pogrom night of 9 to 10 November 1938, synagogues, Jewish shops and homes were destroyed. In 1925 and 1930 the Nazi dictatorship had not yet been established. By 1945 it had already ended, so the destruction occurred earlier.
9 November 1938: the pogrom night.
