A Fateful Time: Remembering the Kristallnacht in 2023

Join us on November 9, 2023 at 11.30 am CDT, as we commemorate the events that changed the fate of the world in 1938. Now more than ever hatred and antisemitism are visible and destructive.
Why was the Kristallnacht a turning point in the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany? Why was the church silent, when synagogues were burning and Jewish property was being destroyed? Most importantly, what did their silence communicate to the Nazi leadership?
How do we need to consider the past to understand the days we live in?
