Years after The Night of Broken Glass, Can History Repeat Itself?
The Holocaust did not suddenly and without warning come about. Rather, it was the culmination of a series of actions that should have alerted the world to the rise of a new kind of ideology and a brutal regime that would unleash state organized and nation-wide pogroms. On November 9-10 1938, hundreds of synagogues, businesses and other properties owned by Jews in Germany and Austria were vandalized, looted and burned down. Jewish cemeteries were desecrated and thousands of Jewish men were arrested. Kristallnacht:”The Night of Broken Glass,” was the prelude to what shortly became a state-sponsored persecution and murder of more than six million Jewish men, women and children throughout Europe. During these years, few individuals or organizations within the United States and the world even protested these terrible crimes let alone took action to stop them. And so the tragedy of the Holocaust came about. Please join us for a unique gathering at the Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach to par
