Kristallnacht
The week of Kristallnacht, I tabled in the student centers with the poster that the JCSC before me had made.  It was a beautiful display that she made, but I did not prepare enough for the table to be successful.  I think it is important to table for this holiday to remember this event, but I would recommend adding more substance of your own to make the table more attractive to the students passing by.  Below is the information about Kristallnacht that I handed out to the students. 
Don�t let the Glass Break

Remembering
KRISTALLNACHT

Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) refers to the organized anti-Jewish riots in Germany and Austria, November 9-10, 1938.  These riots marked a major transition in Nazi policy, and were, in many ways, a harbinger of the �Final Solution.� Over 275 Synagogues and Jewish businesses were destroyed while the world watched in silence.  We remember what happened that night for it is our responsibility to speak up for what is right.  If we do not then terrible things can and will happen.

In retrospect, Kristallnacht was more than the shattering of windows and illusion.  It portended the physical destruction of European Jewry.  As such, this commemoration must be observed both as a memorial and as a warning.

In the aftermath of September 11, there were hate crimes all over the United States that were derived from ignorance and racism.  In commemoration of Kristallnacht, we are trying to share with everyone that violence and hatred are unacceptable, especially in today�s society.
