Kristallnacht: Could it happen again? What should we do?
Given the increasingly toxic antisemitic atmosphere in the United States and around the world, we are raising questions about this year’s Kristallnacht commemoration: Could Kristallnacht happen today, and, if so, what can the second-generation community do to prevent it?
Professor Michael Brenner of American University is a historian renowned for his expertise in German history, and Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, is a major force in fighting antisemitism who successfully sued the Nazi hate groups behind the Charlottesville Unite the Right march. The moderator will be Dr. Peter Gengler, a historian at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum with expertise in modern German and East European cultural, political, and military history.
