The program will observe the 73nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, which occurred on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938. Kristallnacht was the first mass assault by the Nazis on many Jewish people. Nazi forces victimized thousands of German and Austrian Jewish citizens, sending many to concentration camps.

Many historians believe Kristallnacht was the first major event signaling the impending Holocaust. At the time, the events of Kristallnacht were viewed as unprecedented by other nations.

Come see an example of our educational programming, currently on tour in schools around the Portland Metro area!

WE ARE WITNESSES is the true accounts of 5 Jewish adolescents who lives are depicted during the time of Hitler’s regime. These beautifully people tell their heart rendering accounts, by bringing their diaries alive with the innocence and ideological endearments only young people can. Audiences will share their struggles and honorable lives as the 3 boys and 2 girls tell their stories. This is a wonderful theatrical experience you don’t want to miss. May not be suitable for children under 12.
