Temple Bnai Israel Kristallnacht Observance

Please join us in virtually commemorating Kristallnacht sponsored by the Hochberg Committee for Holocaust and Human Rights Education.

Guest speaker will be Marion Blumenthal Lazan, author of Four Perfect Pebbles, a Holocaust Memoir, who will share her story of “determination, perseverance, and above all hope.”  She speaks eloquently of her history as a child Holocaust detainee and now survivor.  Marion, at age 13, immigrated to Peoria, Illinois, with her mother.  She will relate events from that time to now, including the exhilarating events of her many return visits to her home town in Germany (and ultimately, a high school was named after her).  Her objective is for today’s younger generations to hear first-hand accounts of a dark time in our history.
