Faith In Brooklyn for Nov. 23
Filmmaker Couple, Brooklyn Priest Honored at Kristallnacht Program
For 27 years, New York City College of Technology’s Jewish Faculty & Staff Association (JFSA) has produced a Kristallnacht commemoration program. The initial and continuing curator, Dr. James Goldman, notes that this year — for the first time — the Holocaust in Austria was discussed. Previous programs have considered the Holocaust in other European nations such as Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
This year’s theme was “Kristallnacht, 77 Years After: Never Again Anti-Semitism, Indifference and Racism!” The keynote speaker was lawyer, author and essayist Thane Rosenbaum, Esq. The son of Holocaust survivors, Rosenbaum also received this year’s JFSA Distinguished Cultural Achievement Award.
