2023 Kristallnacht Commemoration
Event description
THE EVENT IS SOLD OUT. WE HAVE SET UP A WAITLIST IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER
Kristallnacht – The Night of Broken Glass – marked the onset of the Holocaust. On November 9-10, 1938, Nazi forces set fire to or destroyed over two hundred synagogues, damaged 7,000 Jewish-owned businesses, arrested 30,000 Jews, and murdered 91 Jews in Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland.
The Jewish community’s annual ceremony commemoration Kristallnacht will be held on Thursday 9 November at 6.45pm for a 7pm start (in person only).
The keynote speaker for this event is Dr Dave Rich, UK’s leading expert on antisemitism. He will be sharing with us his thoughts on Antisemitism: what it really is, why it thrives and how we can stop it.
Memorial candles will be lit to honour those whose lives were impacted by the pogroms of Kristallnacht.
