Which is the best paraphrase of paragraph 3 that maintains a logical order?
Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass, was a sad night for Jewish citizens in Germany. On November 9, 1938, thousands were sent to concentration camps, and some were even killed. Those who survived had to work hard with little food and shelter. Children were especially devastated because few countries were willing to accept them as refugees.
Children of Jewish citizens were left homeless when German Nazis destroyed their homes and businesses on November 9, 1938. The Nazi soldiers killed any who resisted and arrested and imprisoned thousands more. Countries around the world chose to ignore the situation in Germany because they were more concerned with their own finances.
Nazis broke into the homes and businesses of German Jews on November 9, 1938. On this night, which is known as Kristallnacht, nearly 100 people were killed and almost 30,000 were sent to concentration camps. Although this situation created many young refugees, other countries did not want them for fear they would not contribute to the economy.
