Multifaith and Cultural
Kristallnacht Remembrance honors the victims and commemorates the events of November 9–10, 1938, when a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms swept through Nazi Germany and Austria. Known as the "Night of Broken Glass," the attacks resulted in the destruction of synagogues, Jewish businesses, homes, and schools, as well as the deaths of at least 91 Jewish individuals and the arrest of 30,000 men, many of whom were sent to concentration camps. Kristallnacht marked a significant escalation in the Nazi regime's persecution of Jews, foreshadowing the Holocaust. Remembrance events often include educational programs, memorial services, and reflections on the importance of combating hatred and preserving human rights.
