 The first pogrom in Nazi Germany was the "Kristallnacht", often called "Pogromnacht", in which at least 91 Jews were killed, a further 30,000 arrested and incarcerated in Nazi concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues burned, and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged.During World War II, Nazi German death squads encouraged local populations in German-occupied Europe to commit pogroms against Jews.Brand new battalions of "Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz" (trained by SD agents) were mobilized from among the German minorities.
