The Holocaust being merely a culmination of Nazi persecution is true to a large extent and was meticulously planned and preceded by Hitler and his party.

As such, some consider ‘The Night of Broken Glass’ as a mark to the actual beginning of the Holocaust – which is where the date when anti-Jewish persecution in Germany began moving toward genocide . This opinion though, does not consider the amount of support the Nazi party would have needed by the public to undertake/enforce such brutality without mass backlash.
