Part 8/11:
Goebbels' real test came with the assassination of Nazi diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a Jewish man, which provoked a barbaric state-sponsored pogrom known as Kristallnacht. Goebbels, seizing the moment, fervently incited the public to turn against Jews, leading to mass violence, looting, and the destruction of Jewish property. His manipulation sparked widespread chaos and violence that resulted in nearly 100 Jewish deaths and over 30,000 Jews being arrested and sent to camps.
