7) Kristallnacht and the Birth of Israel A look at two days that defined the fortunes of Jews in the 20th century. Recalling the terrible events of November 9 1938 - "the night of broken glass" - that marked the beginning of Germany's slide into the abyss of the Holocaust. Over the next seven years, another six million people were to be affected, but when redemption came, it was not at all peaceful. A decade later came the creation of the state of Israel. Just ten years after the Nazis openly attacked Jews and their property--a huge step on the nightmare spiral to the Holocaust, the 2000-year-old-dream of a Jewish homeland becomes a reality and the state of Israel is born. Birth of Israel. 14 May 1948: as Arab tanks mass on Palestine's borders, Jewish leaders declare independence. With ramifications still felt today, that date was a day of extraordinary political brinkmanship and tension, as Jewish leaders declared independence.
