After the Jewish protest, the two former Jewish barracks, blocks 38 and 39, were reconstructed in 1961 on the spot where they had formerly stood in the area called the "Small Camp." This was the camp that was set up to the right of the gate house in 1938 when 6,000 Jews were sent to Sachsenhausen after a total of 30,000 Jewish men were rounded up on November 9 and 10, 1938 "in order to protect them from the wrath of the German people," according to Rudolf Höss who was an adjutant at the camp. This action occurred during the pogrom known as Kristallnacht (Crystal Night) because the glass was broken in all the Jewish shop windows. The Jews were held in "protective custody" until their families could arrange visas for them to leave Germany. The last of the Jews in Sachsenhausen were deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Poland in October 1942. The Jewish museum brochure notes that "Between 1942 and 1945 the National Socialists perpetrated the genocide of European Jews. During this time there were only few Jewish prisoners left in Sachsenhausen."
