The statistical information contained in the scene is not the official numbers reported by Holocaust scholars. The more accurate count (after 70 years of scholarship) is approx. 7500 Jewish businesses and homes vandalized, approx 30,000 Jews arrested and detained at Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, and Dachau, 99 dead, and approx. 1400 synagogues destroyed (source: www.yadvashem.com). The lead actors in this scene are David Warner and Michael Moriarty. The inclusion of this scene is not intended to promote anti-Semitism in any form but to help tell the story of events from The Holocaust such as The Night of Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) which occurred in Germany and in German-held territories on 9-10 November 1938 on the eve of World War II.
