Starts Nov 8, 2023 at 3:00pm
Ends Nov 8, 2023 at 4:00pm
Kristallnacht is often viewed as a turning point. On the night of November 9, 1938, the persecution of the Jews became dramatically visible and undeniable. Marking the anniversary of Kristallnacht presents a unique teachable moment: what happens when people are deprived of basic rights and others stand by without taking action? How does escalation occur? Why is it so important to fight hatred? This webinar, presented by Sheryl Ochayon of Yad Vashem, will explore these issues. This webinar connects with the Nazi Germany unit on the Echoes & Reflections website.
