November 9th is known as Kristallnacht – the night of broken glass. The massive pogrom on November 9, 1938, marks when the forces of anti-Semitism grew strong enough to cause the Shoah. The Temple Israel Shoah Remembrance Committee invites you to commemorate Kristallnacht as we continue to hear witness from survivors.
Join us for lunch, conversation, and exploration of our collective history as we find new ways to remember the past.

Over the past few years, the commemoration has examined interesting and innovative approaches to remembering the Shoah. Transferring memories to new generations is essential to remembering the holocaust. At this year’s commemoration we will feature the Names Not Numbers program. Information about the Names Not Numbers program can be seen at the following website: https://www.namesnotnumbers.org. The program was recently developed and implemented at Great Neck North High School. Three survivors were interviewed by students at Great Neck North. TIGN and Committee member Manny Korman was one of the survivors who was interviewed. At the TIGN commemoration we will present the Great Neck North Names Not Numbers student project video. Following the video presentation, we will have a discussion with Manny Korman and a student participant from Great Neck North.
Registration for the lunch and meeting would be appreciated but is not required. LINK TO REGISTER COMING SOON.
