On 9 and 10 November 1938, Nazi Storm Troopers, spurred on and aided by civilians, carried out a Pogrom against Jews in Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. Henri Korn from Wuppertal survived the event - and vowed to never speak German again. We met up with the 89-year-old Holocaust survivor, in his Melbourne apartment.
