Good morning, Salem! Here are five things you need to know today, Friday, Nov. 9:

1. VETERANS DAY AT WOODBURY: Woodbury Middle School is holding its annual Veterans Day ceremony this morning starting at 7:45 a.m. Gov. John Lynch and U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte are among the speakers.

3. ELECTION RESULTS: In case you haven't seen them, here are the results for Tuesday's election in Salem.

4. THIS DAY IN HISTORYOn this day in 1938, in an event that would foreshadow the Holocaust, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jewish people and their homes and businesses in Germany and Austria. The violence, which continued through November 10 and was later dubbed "Kristallnacht," or "Night of Broken Glass," after the countless smashed windows of Jewish-owned establishments, left approximately 100 Jews dead, 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged and hundreds of synagogues, homes, schools and graveyards vandalized. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were then sent to concentration camps for several months; they were released when they promised to leave Germany. Kristallnacht represented a dramatic escalation of the campaign started by Adolf Hitler in 1933 when he became chancellor to purge Germany of its Jewish population. Information courtesy of History.com.

5. TODAY'S FORECAST: Mostly sunny with a high of 49. Mostly clear tonight with a low of 34.
