Annual Kristallnacht Observance
A massive, coordinated attack on Jews throughout the German Reich on the night of November 9-10, 1938, has come to be known as Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. It starkly signaled a movement towards the Final Solution, a systematic program of genocide designed to annihilate every Jew and others in Europe.
In addition to remembering, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago annually commits to the denunciation of anti-Semitism now and in the history of our tradition and seeks to join together people of all faiths in the work of the world’s mending, the healing of the nations.
Rabbi Anna Levin Rosen, Director of Middot Center for Lived Ethics and Auxiliary Faculty at LSTC, and Cantor David Berger, Cantor at KAM Isaiah Israel, will be leading the service, along with members of the LSTC community.
