Kristallnacht: The 1938 Reich's Pogroms
About this Event
Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” was a pogrom that occurred November 9-10, 1938. It was the first organized, government-sanctioned act of violence against the Jews in Germany. It marks the start of the systematic violence against Jews during the Holocaust. Each year, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh holds an event to commemorate this important turning point in history. These programs are generously supported by Edgar Snyder.
Dr. Michael Berenbaum is a writer, lecturer, and teacher consulting in the conceptual development of museums and the development of historical films. He is director of the Sigi Ziering Institute: Exploring the Ethical and Religious Implications of the Holocaust at the American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism) where he is also a Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies.
The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is a program of The Tree of Life Center for Humanity.
