Wednesday night marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. A survivor from Queens says her home was destroyed that night, and adds even now, decades later, she experiences similar hate. LisaRoznerTV reports.
At the age of 7, she was transported to the Terezin concentration camp. Recently, she visited Europe again with a boys choir, and while they were singing a Hebrew song, a glass bottle was thrown at them.On Wednesday, she shared her story with eighth grade students at the Ramaz School on the Upper East Side.
"It made me so grateful that we live in a time where we're able to learn and practice our Judaism publicly," a student named Hannah added."It's just as important people stand up who are not Jewish because hate has a way if it's not affecting you or your culture or your neighborhood. Now, if you let it go it's going to come around," Fisher said.
Composer Michael Shapiro compiled poetry from Sephardic Jews that he discovered while working at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
