The Germans were Anti-Semitic, this means that they hated the Jews. They put the Jews in concentration camp which forced Jews into harsh labor and eventual death. Deportation was the moving of Jews from there homes to Ghettos or Camps. Ghettos were shanty run down small tenements Jews were forced into. This all together was a Holocaust or the attempted extermination of the Jews. Kristalnacht was the shattering of many Jewish store fronts.
The Holocaust broke many commandments.
The obvious being the 5th, they killed many Jews. They also violated the 7th because they stole many things from the Jews such as there way of life and personal items.
