On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi leaders executed a campaign of violence and destruction on Jews in Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. Though Jews were ostracized and stripped of their rights beginning in 1933, Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass,” was the first instance of organized mass violence toward and arrest of Jews under the Nazis.
Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief Education Officer, and Felicia Williamson, Director of Library and Archives at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, will present a discussion of Kristallnacht and its aftermath and a presentation of related artifacts in the Museum’s collection.
