That night, Nazi brown-shirt- ed storm troopers, supported by local citizens rioted through the city streets of Germany and Austria. Their rampage dam aged or destroyed Jewish homes, schools, businesses and syna gogues. The broken glass strewn across Germany and Austria provided the appellation that has remained connected to that date - Kristallnacht - Night of Broken Glass. The destraction on that November night included 7,500 Jewish homes and businesses, 267 synagogues, 100 Jews had been murdered, and 30,000 men arrested and sent to concentration camps previously used for crimi nals who had broken the law. The night of violence and de straction marked the begimung of the Holocaust, Hitler’s plan to systematically eliminate the Jew ish people. Suly Chenkin, sur vivor, educator, and member of Temple Israel, explains: “When the glass broke, shards blew ev erywhere and blinded people ....” She adds: “Our role is to bring the shards together again, I taken et ha ’olam, to repair the world and make it whole again.” Every five years, we gather to remember the fear and terror that afflicted the Jewish people until the end of the Nazis’ rale over Europe and Germany. The hatred which condemned our people under the Hitler re gime still echoes throughout our world and in the streets of our United States of America. The White Supremicists’ march on Charlottesville, VA, the recent desecration of App State’s Suk- kah, the anti-semitic graffiti in the university’s tunnel, and the desecration of the JCC in Virgin ia prove that the hatred behind Kristallnacht still exists to threat en us and others who are the tar gets of blind, baseless hatred. The Kristallnacht Commem oration Committee and Temple Israel wish to thank Jewish Fam ily Services of Greater Charlotte, the Butterfly Project, and the Stan Greenspon Center for Peace and Social justice for their collabora tion and partnership. ^ Public Menorah Lightings for Chanukah ON BHOldVHO SOU #imidBd aivddovisod sn aisidsdd pejsenbey eoiAjeg ebueno 9ZZ8Z ON ‘sHOIJBMO 21,1,# aims ‘peoy eouepiAOJd Z009 SouthPark Mall - December 2 at 6 PM.
