CINCINNATI – The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center will offer free admission this Sunday, Nov. 9, in observance of Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass.” It comes as the world marks 87 years since the violent anti-Jewish attacks that swept across Nazi Germany and parts of Europe in 1938.
Kristallnacht was a turning point in Nazi persecution of Jews, as synagogues and businesses were destroyed and thousands were arrested simply for being Jewish.
In addition to free admission Sunday, the Holocaust & Humanity Center will host special programs featuring descendants of Holocaust survivors who rebuilt their lives in Cincinnati. Throughout the day, they will share moving, personal stories of what happened to their families that tragic night.
Free admission applies to the Holocaust & Humanity Center only and does not include access to Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away., currently on view at the Cincinnati Museum Center. A $6 parking fee applies.
