Answer
- B Jewish shops and synagogues are destroyed by National Socialists and their supporters.
Explanation
The November pogroms began on 9 November 1938: synagogues burned, and Jewish shops and homes were destroyed. The National Socialists played this down as "Reichskristallnacht" (Night of Broken Glass). The Second World War only began on 1 September 1939 with the attack on Poland.
