MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9 at 7:00 PM |
Each year we commemorate the November Pogrom, more commonly known as Kristallnacht. This event stands out in history, as the major foreshadowing of genocide against the Jews of Europe and violent persecution of others. The violence and destruction of November 9 - 10, 1938 hangs heavy in our memory: thousands of Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues were destroyed; 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps; and hundreds of lives were lost.
Today, just as then, division and strife are rampant. Hate has been on the rise - antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia are tracking in a dangerous direction across our country.
Viewing information is listed on OJCTV.
