About this event
Eighty-eight years ago, Nazi storm troopers carried out a coordinated attack against Jewish communities across Germany and Austria. Known as Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, the violence left synagogues, homes, schools, and businesses destroyed and marked a devastating turning point in the persecution of European Jews.
On Monday, November 9, 2026, join us for a special Kristallnacht commemoration featuring Trumbull resident and award-winning author Deborah Levison. Deborah will share the story of her parents, who survived ghettos, forced labor camps, concentration camps, and death marches during the Holocaust, while many members of their families and communities did not survive.
Through her family’s experiences, Deborah will reflect on the importance of remembrance, the dangers of silence and indifference, and the lessons this history continues to hold for us today.
