When the violence finally ended on the night of November 10, the Nazis had burned or destroyed 267 synagogues, vandalized or looted about 7,500 Jewish businesses, killed or injured more than 91 Jewish people. The Nazis forced the Jewish community to pay the cost of all the repairs at their own expense plus an "atonement" fee.

For the first time, Jews were arrested on a massive scale and transported to Nazi concentration camps. About 30,000 Jews were sent to Buchenwald, Dachau, and Sachsenhausen, where hundreds died within weeks of arrival. Release came only after the prisoners arranged to emigrate and agreed to transfer their property to "Aryans."
