The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre will hold its annual Kristallnacht commemorations, in partnership with Congregation Beth Israel. This commemoration is designed not only to remember the November 1938 pogroms against Jews in Nazi Germany, but also to connect that history to contemporary issues of antisemitism, racism, and human rights. The commemoration will include survivor speakers, descendants of survivors, candle-lighting ceremonies, memorial prayers, and educational lectures.
