The Kristallnacht remembrance ceremony is the first event of Holocaust Education Week, November 6-11, an annual series of community events dedicated to teaching about the Shoah. If you cannot attend in person, it also will be livestreamed. The evening will include testimony from Wendy Reiss Rothfield, who will recount how she and her family escaped from Vienna, Austria just before Kristallnacht, along with prayers, musical interludes and presentations by local community leaders. Kristallnacht, considered to be a harbinger of the Holocaust, resulted in the incarceration of 30,000 Jews in concentration camps Please click here for more information on attending in person or watching the livestream on JewishMiami.org/kristallnacht.
