A MYSTERIOUS PHOTO ALBUM WITH A NEW LENS ON KRISTALLNACHT: THE NOVEMBER POGROM

November 4th, 2024

3:00 PM ET

Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

An old album was kept for many years in the home of a Jewish soldier who served in the US Army in Germany during WWII, but never spoke about his experiences. It was found only after he passed away. According to his granddaughter, "When I opened the album, I felt as if a hole had been burned through my hands."  

What kind of intimate photographs would burn a hole through a viewer's hands? What do they tell us about the Nazis' intentions towards the Jews, years before the Final Solution? Why was the pogrom a turning point? Join Sheryl Ochayon, Echoes & Reflections Project Director for Yad Vashem's International Institute for Holocaust Education, to view the album and discuss these questions.

This webinar connects to Unit 3 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
