KRISTALLNACHT COMMUNITY COMMEMORATION
10:30 a.m.- noon
FREE
Presented in partnership with The Ruth Fajerman Markowicz Holocaust Resource Center of the Jewish Federation
Join us as we remember Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” the Nazi-organized pogrom of November 9–10, 1938, when
Jews were murdered, synagogues were burned, Jewish homes and businesses were destroyed, and approximately 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
The commemoration will include a screening of “The Courage to Care,” a powerful documentary about individuals who risked their lives to help and rescue Jews during the Holocaust. Following the film, we will gather for a brief discussion and re flection on remembrance, moral courage, and our responsibility to stand against hatred and indifference.
RSVP by Friday, November 6 here or with Sherry Majewski at 419-724-0351.
