119. As we reflect on our history, we are reminded to treat all people
justly and to speak up for those who are persecuted today. It is in this
vein that The J is honored to partner with Sonoran Glass School and
the Jewish History Museum & Holocaust History Center to commemo-
rate the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht. On the evening of November
9, 1938, in Nazi Germany, the windows in Jewish synagogues, shops,
and buildings were smashed. Buildings were destroyed, homes were
raided, and synagogues were burned. This anti-Jewish pogrom (event
persecuting a particular group of people) is known as Kristallnacht
(Crystal Night) and is often referred to as the Night of Broken Glass.
