He organized and encouraged the program.

As Hitler’s propaganda minister, Goebbels gave an incendiary speech on Nov. 9, 1938 and helped orchestrate the pogrom, using propaganda and orders that encouraged SA/SS, party activists and civilians to attack Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues while police and fire services were largely prevented from intervening to protect Jewish property.
