Lunch and Learn: Americans and the Holocaust – Sam Goldberg
On November 9-10, 1938, the Nazis orchestrated a state-sponsored campaign of violence and destruction against Jewish communities- an event that would become known as Kristallnacht.
The world watched on as the SA, Hitler Youth, and ordinary citizens destroyed hundreds of synagogues, shattered the windows of and looted an estimated 7,500 Jewish-owned businesses, and rounded up 30,000 Jewish men to be taken to concentration camps.
Newspapers everywhere reported on the violence, and this event is widely believed to be the warning sign missed around the world.
Join Sam Goldberg, the Director of Education at the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center, as she goes through the ways in which Americans reacted to, and responded to, the events of the Holocaust.
