Which Western media reported about 'Chrystal Night' (Nov 9, 1938) critically first and in which year?

Question

I heard one comment, unfortunaly, without name of researcher, that the world was informed about this event, but these reports were quite indifferent for a long time. I am interested how long. I do not have access to main media archives of this time to check that.

One answerer indicated the New York Times of November 10: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/19381011_NYT_frontpage_Kristallnacht.png
I do not know how critical it was or just presented as some local hooliganism.

Answer 1

BBC, 1938.

Answer 2

~The story was picked up by the media in Germany, with a Goebels slant of course, and by the press and radio in Britain, the US, Canada, France, throughout Benelux and by most of the rest of the western world. Nobody cared. Much like they didn't care about the Ship of the Damned or the camps.
Everybody knew about it. Nobody wanted to do anything about it. France and Britain were still working on appeasement, and Uncle Sam didn't have any nukes to rattle his saber with.
My how times have changed. Now the US consistently and regularly invades sovereign nations (Granada, Panama, Libyia, Somalia, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Korea, Mozambique, Haiti, Cuba, El Salvador, Nicaragua, to name but a few) and the media picks up on it and nobody does anything about it (except a few for who blow up trucks and boats and fly planes into buildings.) Most of Europe, The Vatican and not a minority of Americans, approved of what Hitler was doing to the Jews, or at least they were willing to pretend they didn't know so as to not have to take a stand.

Answer 3

I believe CBS News, notably William Shirer, reported on it immediately.

Shirer described "Krystalnacht" in detail in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," which is where I learned most of what I know about it.

Shirer was at that time one of the "Murrow Boys."

I highly recommend "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."

Answer 4

William L. Shirer was one of the first reporters to send back word of "Kristallnacht," from his wire service office in Berlin. It was on the wires within hours of the field reports reaching him.

Answer 5

I just dont know, and it hurts......
