The Kristallnacht Pogrom

The Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 was a turning point for many journalists who had been hesitant to criticize the Nazi regime. The pogrom, which saw the destruction of Jewish businesses and homes, made it clear that the Nazis were willing to use violence to achieve their goals. In the wake of the pogrom, many journalists who had previously been willing to tolerate the Nazi regime began to speak out against it.

The Gestapo's Crackdown on Dissent

The Gestapo responded to the growing dissent among journalists by cracking down on the press. In 1939, the Gestapo arrested more than 100 journalists and shut down dozens of newspapers. Many of the arrested journalists were sent to concentration camps, where they were tortured and killed.

The Journalists Who Continued to Resist

Despite the Gestapo's crackdown, there were still a number of journalists who continued to resist the Nazi regime. These journalists often worked in secret, distributing their work underground. One of the most famous of these journalists was Hans Scholl, who was a member of the White Rose resistance movement. Scholl was arrested in 1943 and executed by the Gestapo.
