Kristallnacht commemoration by Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein of Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance in L.A.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center commemorated the 71's anniversary of
Germany's "Night of Breaking Glass" or Kristallnacht with an event at
the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles featuring author of
"Hitler's Willing Executioners," Harvard Prof. Daniel Goldhagen.
Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, the son of a Holocaust survivor
(and the Wiesenthal Center's Director of Interfaith Affairs)
began the evening by retelling his mother's testimonial of the events
of the night of 9 November 1938. He then offered a prayer, in Hebrew,
to the souls murdered by the Nazi culture, brainwashed against
the Jews vilified by their society.
