The greater Greenville community will commemorate the 70th anniversary ofKristallnacht on Sunday, November 16 at 7pm at the Verne Smith Auditorium on the campus of Greenville Tech.

Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, in November 1938, was the first act of state organized terror against Germany’s Jewish community. It marked the beginning of the Holocaust of European Jewry, as the flood-gates opened to the slaughter of 6,000,000 Jews by the death-machinery of Nazi Germany.

The event is under the honorary leadership of Hon. and Mrs Max Heller (Trude herself is a Kristallnacht survivor), Mr. and Mrs. Hayne Hipp, and Hon. Chandra Dillard.

Shirley Sarlin and Michael Cogdill will present dramatic excerpts from the stirring journal of Kristallnacht victim, Werner Schleyer. Choral selections will be presented by Furman University’s Chancel Choir. In the spirit of the evening’s solemnity, there will be no speeches, simply the opportunity to come and go in reflection.
