KRISTALLNACHT MEMORIAL SERVICE
Tonight, November 6, 2016, my dear friend Judy, and I attended the annual Kristallnacht Memorial Service, held at Leisure World, a well-known senior center in Silver Spring, Maryland.For those folks who are not familiar with the above Memorial service, an incident known as “Kristallnacht,”, in which Nazis in Germany, torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish homes,schools and businesses,and killed close to 100 Jews. Some 30,000 JEWS were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps.Many speakers, some Holocaust survivors, historians, Rabbis, chanted prayers, and I, one of the former American soldiers, a member of a liberating Army unit, the 42d Infantry Rainbow Division, recognized as one of the divisions that liberated the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945 spoke on”We Remember the Six Million” (Total Jews killed during the Holocaust) (recognized murdered amount by registered Historians)”. Fred Firnbacher, a Leisure World resident has been the Program Coordinator of this interesting service for many years.
