Join Temple Sholom for an evening of remembrance on Sunday, November 8 at 7 p.m.

The Temple Sholom Holocaust Remembrance Committee invites the community to commemorate the November 9th Pogrom, known as Kristallnacht, with guest speaker Michelle Ezer.

Michelle’s grandparents, Margot and Markus Safirstein, were teenagers in Berlin in 1938. Margot left on the Kindertransport, and the two pledged to find each other after the war. Michelle will share their story of separation, survival, and reunion.
