Following "The Night of Broken Glass," the world reacted with horror…and did nothing. So began the Holocaust. Who could have foreseen, at that low ebb of Judaism, that just ten years later a Jewish state, Israel, would finally be born? It was a victory for Jews everywhere. But it also signaled the further marginalization of the Palestinian population. This emotionally charged, highly realistic program cinematically dramatizes the events surrounding two days that did much to define the fortunes of Jewry in the 20th century, indelibly capturing both the courage and the fear that etched the annals of the times. Original BBCW broadcast title: Kristallnacht and the Birth of Israel. (51 minutes)
