The correct answer is: The Nazis arrested Jewish men and destroyed Jewish building.

Explanation:

Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) refers to an incident that occurred in Nazi Germany in 1938, as a part of the systematic persecution of Jews (the Holocaust).

In October 1938, approximately 15,000 Polish Jews were expelled from Germany and deported on the Polish border. After that, a seventeen-year-old Herchel Grünspan assassinated a German consul in Paris, because he wanted to revenge for the deportation of his parents to Poland.

The Nazis declared this act as a part of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy and decided to destroy hundred of Jewish buildings, including synagogues, cemeteries, schools, homes, and Jewish-owned businesses. The Nazis also arrested 30,000 Jewish men and transferred them to concentration camps.

Also, Nazis immediately imposed a fine of one billion reichsmarks, and they took from the Jewish people all their shop and business, leaving them practically without anything, totally excluded from the German economy.
