Holocaust Survivor Noemi Ban Speaks at Western
--Talk is free to the public but reservations ARE MANDATORY-- To make a reservation visit the Northwest Center for Holocaust, Genocide and Ethnocide Education Web Site: http://www.wce.wwu.edu/Resources/NWCHE/ Nov. 9th is the 71st anniversary of the Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass," a night during which the SA, SS and the Nazi parth coordinated the damage to and destruction of thousands of synagogues, Jewish businesses and homes. This night of anti-Jewish terror and violence was the beginning of the Holocaust. Ban will speak about how she lost most of her family, and how she shares her story to inspire current and future generations to prevent similar genocides from happening again. "Your generation may be the last one able to listen to a survivor," Ban has told WWU students. |
