In 1933, Jews were banned from civil positions, like parliament and teaching

Hitler gets involved
After speaking with Goebbels, they agreed to extrapolate the events in Hannover to the first real national attack on Jews
Effectively, political chaos ensued, with SS and SA members undercover attacking Jews, police turning a blind eye to any violence, it was madness.
Violence Overview
Many gangs attacked and smashed windows of businesses, owing to the name - The Night of Broken Glass. Some gangs wore Nazi uniform, but they were informed not to, because if the general public were unified in violence, it would conform to the Nazi plan.
Mixed opinions raged about the event, some horrified, some supportive. Official numbers include 171 homes and 191 synagogues destroyed, 814 Shops damaged, and 100 Jewish deaths.
Goebbels announced that the Jews were at fault, and were fined 1 Billion Marks in total.
