It's Happening In Miami

As violent antisemitic attacks reached a record high level throughout the US and abroad, this year’s Holocaust Education Week, beginning Sunday, November 7 through Friday November 12, offers critical learning tools for our community. The community-wide program, presented by the Holocaust Memorial Beach, a Committee of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, opens with a virtual commemoration of Kristallnacht: “The Night of Broken Glass.”

Additional programming throughout the week includes a photography exhibit by Holocaust Survivor Laszlo Selly, a public film screening of The Zookeeper’s Wife and a moderated discussion with Survivor Allan Hall. All events will be virtual, unless otherwise noted, free of charge and open to the public. Advance registration is required. Program access information will be sent following registration confirmation.

One of the most tragic days in modern Jewish history, Kristallnacht will be commemorated on the 83rd anniversary of the event. Widely considered to be a major turning point in Hitler’s campaign to annihilate the Jewish people, Kristallnacht was marked by a series of coordinated attacks on Jews in Germany and parts of Austria on November 9-10, 1938.

Join the community online to remember the victims of this event and honor the Survivors on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at 6 PM.
