Answer:

President Roosevelt responded to Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, by publicly condemning the violence and calling for an investigation into the incident. He also recalled US Ambassador Hugh Wilson from Germany in response to the Nazi treatment of Jews, and increased immigration quotas for refugees from Germany. The US Congress also passed a joint resolution condemning the “atrocities” and expressing support for the “civilized world”. Roosevelt’s response was considered relatively weak, however, in comparison to other democratic nations that sent troops to prevent similar episodes.
