Why was Kristallnacht significant?

Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” was a state-backed wave of violence against Jewish people in Nazi Germany in November 1938. Jewish homes, synagogues, and businesses were attacked, and many Jewish people were arrested. It marked a major escalation from discrimination and exclusion to widespread physical violence, so the correct choice is “It showed an escalation in violence and discrimination against Jewish people.”
