Community Kristallnacht Commemoration

The Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester invites you to a Community Kristallnacht Commemoration featuring Tova Friedman.

Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass," took place on November 9-10, 1938, when Nazi-led violence swept across Germany and Austria, destroying Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues, killing Jews and arresting thousands.

It marked a devastating escalation in the Nazi persecution and a turning point on the path to the Holocaust.

Tova Friedman is one of the youngest living survivors of Auschwitz. Her unforgettable story of survival and resilience has been featured on CNN’s Amanpour, NPR’s Book of the Day, PBS Newshour, the BBC and many other high-profile and local outlets.

Friedman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Brooklyn College, a Master of Arts in Black literature from the City College of New York and a Master of Arts in social work, gerontology and counseling from Rutgers University. She has four children and eight grandchildren.

Generously underwritten by Harold, Terri, and Michael Bobry
