Oh, so "pogrom" isn't a German word, and it specifically means violence against the Jews. Is that a better translation?

I'd taken it to mean "riot" by analogy with "race riots" in the US, some of which were encouraged and armed by the government.

Is the "Night of Broken Glass" similarly problematic? I can guess that the two might be related. I don't know if it's positive connotations to "krytstal" or the fact that it's not called a "pogrom" (or riot) is the root of the issue?

So "Empire Riots night"? Most English speaking people would struggle to pronounce that, sadly.
