Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, happened November 9 and 10, 1938. This was the start of the aggression towards the Jews before World War II I in Germany. Come learn how this one night impacted the Jews and their culture of Europe before WWII and how this still impacts their culture today. This talk will also focus on Genocide and Holocaust education nationwide and how to create safe and brave spaces to continue to protect marginalized populations today.
