Kristallnacht Survivor Marianne Goldstein speaks at Fall Refresher

On Saturday, November 1st, 2008 the Summer Institute students had their Fall Refresher at Hamburg High School. The main speaker was Mrs. Marianne Goldstein, a survivor of Kristallnacht, or the 1938 Night of Broken Glass?the event which many historians view as the beginning of the Holocaust.

Mrs. Goldstein shared her memories of how that night affected her family, as well as her thoughts on why it is so important for the students to remember the Holocaust. More information can be learned about her presentation from a Buffalo News article that can be found here (PDF)
