For the 11th year, Chapman University gathers as an interfaith community to commemorate Kristallnacht. We remember the violence directed against the Jews that swept across Germany and Austria 80 years ago on November 9-10, 1938, the arrests that followed, and the actions of the courageous few who stood with the persecuted and resisted Nazi oppression.
