Join Federation and the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach for “Kristallnacht: The Spark That Ignited the Holocaust” on Sunday, November 6 at 6 p.m. Hosted by Temple Israel of Greater Miami, 137 NE 19th Street, in downtown Miami, the poignant program, chaired by Wendy Reiss Rothfield, will include presentations by Consul General of Israel in Miami Lior Haiat; former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela Otto Reich; and Guitars Not Guns, a musical youth group for at-risk children. Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” refers to the wave of violent anti-Jewish events (pogroms) on November 9 and 10, 1938, throughout Germany and Austria, which was a harbinger of the Holocaust. The Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach is a Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. For more details, contact Sharon Horowitz at 305.538.1673.
