Ann Millin
This year's lecture commemorates the 80th anniversary Kristallnacht The November Pogrom, Nov. 9-10, 1938. It will also tell the stories of three American foreign correspondents who strove to report what was happening in Germany and thus, arouse in Americans a response to the threat posed by the fascist regime.
The center will also feature the exhibit FINAL SALE: The End of Jewish Owned Businesses in Nazi Berlin, from Oct. 29 to Nov. 19.
The exhibit shows how Jewish business owners were forced by the Third Reich to close their businesses or to turn them over to non-Jews. The goal of the exhibit for the viewer is to explore how the process, which the Nazis called Aryanization, affected individual family owned businesses and their owners in Germany's largest city, the capital city of Berlin.
Both the lecture and the exhibit are free and open to the public. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. For New Jersey educators, two professional development hours are available.
