On the recordNovember 3, 2015
This Monday, November 9, marks the 77th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. The Greater Miami Jewish Federation will be commemorating this tragic and horrible event with a community rally on Sunday, November 15, at 4 p.m., at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach. Kristallnacht marked the beginning of one of humanity's darkest periods: the Holocaust. It serves as a solemn reminder of what can happen when people allow anti-Semitism, incitement to violence, and hatred to carry on unabated. {time} 1045 What happened on Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass? 267 synagogues were destroyed. 7,500 Jewish-opened businesses were looted and were vandalized. Up to 30,000 Jews were arrested. Almost 100 Jews were killed, not to mention the untold number of violent attacks that took place that night. And the brutality and inhumanity only got worse from there, as Nazis would go on to murder 6 million Jews over the next few years because they were members of the Jewish faith. I plan on joining the Greater Miami Jewish Federation on Sunday, November 15, to stand united with our community to vow never again.
