Remembering Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass) with Holocaust Survivor, Norbert Strauss

Please join the Drew University Center for Holocaust/Genocide Study and Holocaust survivor Norbert Strauss for our annual program commemorating Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass). Norbert was born in 1927 in Germany. On November 9, 1938, during Kristallnacht, Norbert witnessed the burning of synagogues in Frankfurt. He salvaged two small stones from the rubble and carried them with him. After Kristallnacht, Norbert took the MS St. Louis to Cuba, but when the ship was turned away, he was sent to a Dutch holding camp, and he eventually obtained a U.S. visa.

Registration is not required for the program, and it is free and open to the public. Guest parking is available on Drew’s campus in the Tilghman Lot (Letter K on the Campus Map). 

The event will be located in Mead Hall, Founder's Room. (#15 on the campus map).
