#Kristallnacht On November 9–10, 1938, a wave of coordinated violence swept through Nazi Germany and Austria. Synagogues were set on fire, and Jewish-owned shops and homes were destroyed. Kristallnacht marked a turning point — when persecution turned into open terror and the path toward the Holocaust became tragically clear. As we remember this dark night, we honor the victims and renew our commitment to remember the lessons of the past — to stand against hatred, antisemitism, and indifference.
