One scholar pointed out that after Kristallnacht the situation for the Jews became less dangerous on the surface but the conditions for the Jews became more menacing. That is, after Kristallnacht the harassments, humiliations, and beatings that were a daily occurrence on German streets all but disappeared. Instead, the persecutions went behind the walls of prisons and police stations - and as a consequence became much more severe.
I've always wondered about this assertion. Is it accurate?

I don't know, but I'd question that assertion. If I'm not mistaken the infamous badges were instituted immediately after Kristallnacht, worn under penalty of death. Enforcement of restrictions on things like employment were tigntened. I can't imagine things "on the street" got better for Jews, now immediately identifiable.
