Kristallnacht commemoration will involve the community
The Holocaust Museum & Center for Tolerance and Education offers a community-wide Kristallnacht commemoration on November 8, at 7 p.m., at the Nanuet Hebrew Center in New City. It will include an illumination ceremony, and a student will be the keynote speaker.
Kristallnacht was the night of November 8, 1938, when the German Nazi government destroyed Jewish homes, businesses, synagogues, and families. More than 30,000 Jews were arrested, 91 Jews brutally murdered, and hundreds more injured. Kristallnacht foreshadowed the terror and destruction of the Holocaust.
The shul is at 411 S. Little Tor Road. For information, call (845) 574-4099 or email holocaustrcc@gmail.com.
