Register Now: Student Webinar on Kristallnacht + More!

As we struggle through the horrific violence unfolding in Israel this week, we remain committed in our work to support educators teach about the complex history of the Holocaust and antisemitism. We stand firm in our belief that through responsible and meaningful education, students can be empowered to confront and reduce hate and bias in their communities.

November is an important opportunity for teachers and their students to commemorate the Kristallnacht pogrom, which occurred the night of November 9, 1938 and the following day.

This was a critical turning point during the Holocaust as the first major public government-sanctioned display of antisemitic violence against Jews in Germany. It is a prime example of the dangers of the normalization and escalation of antisemitism and hate.

On November 8, we invite teachers and their students to join a webinar on the Kristallnacht pogrom.

Additionally, we have some exciting and new webinars throughout the month exclusively for educators. Join us for these opportunities to explore important topics in antisemitism and Holocaust education that will inspire your students to build a brighter future.
