On the night of
November 9, 1938, rampaging mobs throughout Germany and the
newly acquired territories of Austria and Sudetenland freely
attacked Jews in the street, in heir homes, and at their places
of work and worship.
Over the next two days, at least 96 Jews were killed and
hundreds more injured.
As many as 2,000 synagogues were burned, almost 7,500
Jewish businesses were destroyed, cemeteries and schools were
vandalized, and 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to
concentration camps.
This pogrom has come to be called Kristallnacht, ‘Night of
Broken Glass’.

Kathy Kacer
Award winning young readers author presents two new books for adults and
students Restitution: A family’s fight for their heritage lost in the
Holocaust To Hope and Back: The Journey of the St. Louis
Monday, November 21, 2011 7:30 pm
Restitution: A family’s fight for their heritage lost in the Holocaust
is the true story of four paintings and one family’s enduring spirit. A
story of strength and determination, told in compelling detail. To Hope
and Back: The Journey of the St. Louis is the true story of Lisa Avedon
(now living in Toronto) and Sol Messinger (well known in Buffalo!) Lisa
and Sol were young children when they boarded the St. Louis – a ship
full of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi-controlled Germany in 1939. After
the ship was denied refuge in Cuba, the story alternates between the
innocent views of the children and the ship’s Captain, frustrated by his
desperate efforts to find safe harbor for his passengers. Kathy Kacer, a
child of Holocaust survivors, travels around the world speaking to young
people about the importance of understanding the Holocaust.
$12, students $6
• Special guest: Dr. Sol Messinger
• Co-sponsored by People of the Book, The Rubin & Luba Literman Fund of
the Holocaust Resource Center of Buffalo, Kadimah School of Buffalo and
