Riots against Jews during the pogrom on 10 November 1938 in Trittenheim. On the morning of 10 November 1938, the NSDAP district leader gave the NSDAP local group leader of Trittenheim the order for the pogrom. An SA Sturmbannführer, who had been in Leiwen in the afternoon, travelled to Trittenheim. On the way, he also invited Westwall workers to take part. The house of Bermann Samuel in Trittenheim was broken into, the crowd demolished furniture, fixtures and fittings, clothes and linen and threw some things onto the street. The occupants of the house had already been at Moses Samuel's since the afternoon. The crowd moved on to Moses Samuel's house and destroyed it as well. Moses and Bermann Samuel were both taken into protective custody in Moses Samuel's house and imprisoned in Wittlich for three days.
