Marking Kristallnacht


Yesterday, on Kristallnacht, we hosted a very moving ceremony that culminated in the return of a 16th century bible to the Jewish community in Vienna. The bible had been stolen on Kristallnacht 71 years ago.


Witnessing this act of justice was an apt way of commemorating the day. Click here for our Director’s introductory remarks and here for the New York Times story about the event.
