On Sunday, November 9, the Holocaust & Humanity Center will have free museum admission in commemoration of Kristallnacht. Often referred to as the “Night of Broken Glass,” Kristallnacht was a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms which took place November 9 & 10, 1938, throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.
Kristallnacht was a turning point in the persecution of Jewish individuals, marking the first instance in which Jews were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps simply because they were Jewish.
Throughout the day, descendants will be in the museum sharing their family’s stories of Kristallnacht.
