In this Sept. 18, 2013 photo, Holocaust survivor Margie Oppenheimer, 89, sits in her apartment surrounded by family photos at the retirement community called Selfhelp Home, on the North Side of Chicago. Seventy-five years ago, she awoke with a Nazi pointing a rifle in her 14-year-old face. It was Nov. 9, 1938, Kristallnacht _ the night of broken glass _ when the Nazis coordinated a wave of attacks in Germany and Austria, smashing windows, burning synagogues, ransacking homes, looting Jewish-owned stores. They trashed the familys apartment and small department store in Oelde, Germany. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
