About

The program will feature a screening of the Emmy Award-winning film Shattered Dreams: A Child of the Holocaust.

87 years after the event, Kristallnacht still casts its dark shadow. It marked the Nazi regime’s transition from the discriminatory Nuremberg Laws to the advent of ‘Final Solution’ genocide against European Jewry.
 
There is nothing more important than an eye-witness testimony to the truth. The need for documentary evidence from those who lived through the events of the Holocaust is especially urgent today as survivors are passing away. 
 

A conversation with special guest, Kristallnacht survivor and the subject of Shattered Dreams, Paul Schwarzbart will follow the screening.

A reception will follow the event.

This event is offered free of charge. RSVP required. Register here.

Education Program

Rooted and Targeted: Teaching Jewish and Black Life, Antisemitism, Anti-Blackness, and the Cities We Inherit

In partnership with TOLI, This five-day seminar invites educators to rethink how they teach history and identity. The program begins with everyday life — community, culture, and the richness of Jewish and Black experiences — and then examines the legal, social, and institutional systems that made exclusion, discrimination, and erasure possible, both historically – through the histories of the Holocaust, domestic slave trade and lynching – and today.
