The night of November 9-10 will be the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht (“the night of broken glass”; see photo), when mobs led by Nazi soldiers and police attacked Jewish people and their homes, places of business, and houses of worship. Congregation Mount Sinai, at 250 Cadman Plaza West, will remember Kristallnacht this Saturday, November 5, from noon to 2:00 p.m., following the morning service. Brita Wagener, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in New York, will speak about the late German prosecutor Fritz Bauer, who made it his mission to bring Nazi criminals to justice and to obtain compensation for their victims.
